Now that I’ve got the mask, it’s time to start making the frame. When I first started thinking about this idea, I wasn’t sure how I would make the frame that the mask and PCB attaches to. But as usual, Malcolm had the solution… Styrene. He uses it in a lot of his models.<\/p>\n

In case you forgot. Malcolm’s tank<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I always think of Malcolm when I watch Flight of the Phoenix<\/a> (the real one, not the remake).\u00a0 The only difference is James Stewart would have been flying one fast plane out of that desert if Malcolm had built it.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So I picked up a 12″x”6″x .06″ sheet of styrene and cement. I cut three 1″ wide strips. Two of the strips I cut down to the same length as the mask. These would become the top and bottom of the frame. The remaining strip I cut into nine half-inch long pieces.<\/p>\n

I marked the position of the spacers on one of the long pieces and then glued the end spacer on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To insure proper spacing and to keep the spacers at 90 degrees to the bottom, I used a scrap of 1×1 aluminum with a shim to get the spacing just right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now all the spacers are attached to the bottom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I flipped the assembly on its back and then cemented the top on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finished product… kind of. I still have to create a flange for the PCB mount and the instrument panel mount. And I have to paint it black. But I’m getting there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
