[simpits-tech] Overhaulin'

[Marc Weigert]

Hello Fred,

could the technique you just described also be used for "skinning" a
simulator shell? I do have a sim shell with all the ribs and stuff,
but have no skin for it. Now I am evaluating the different
possibilities for building the perfect skin for it.

Thanks.

Cheers,

Marc
