ndeconte Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share #122 Posted June 11, 2016 In between remodeling our downstairs bathroom, I got some work done on the fighting chair for the Orca........ The cushions are done except for adding some cracking in the vinyl, have to wait till the primer dries completely to finish that. The pocket on the back of the back cushion is a piece of Sheet styrene that I heated up with a heat gun and stretched around the basswood to form. Also figured out how to do the recessed area in the slide arm for the footrest. Added the mounting bolt for the footrest to slider also.

ndeconte Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share #126 Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Not much of an update but I got the footrest done including the rubber mat and the adjustment stop bolts for the fighting chair. Working on the Rockaway name plate for it, then this will be molded along with all the other parts for the fighting chair. The rubber mat was created from gluing some thin solder to some thin styrene plastic, side by side and cut to length. then this was set into a slot that was carved into the footrest to get the correct height.

I'm also doing one for myself and also a customer in CA, so I didn't want to have to re-create this from scratch for the other two.

ndeconte Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share #130 Posted July 1, 2016 Quick update..... Finally got the small Rock Away logo cast, that was a chore!? Had to find a material that would be strong enough but pliable to get a quality casting. I ended up using a dab of Magic Sculp to get it. Now that's done I'll get it adhered to the foot rest and get the molds made. Hopefully I can get those done this weekend. Happy 4th of July to all our USA members!

JerseyCity Frankie Posted July 4, 2016 Share #131 Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) Happy 4th of July! And you will remember that the film takes place over the 4th of July weekend: The town of Amity is going to have its summer tourist season RUINED because of that big shark out there, forcing the sheriff to close the beaches! Better get into the Orca and hunt that shark! I try to re-watch Jaws every July 4th now and this year I will be thinking of your model when I see all the scenes featuring the Orca.
