My BIG Airplane: for a play named...

"Drowsey Chaperone"

@ Wenatchee's Riverside Playhouse

2011

It got started here with the request of building of a "stage useable" fake airplane that had to be taken onto the stage from inside the 'shop' door, across the hallway, through a double door, and then on stage . . .

Building the airplane from scratch...

Yes, I know... SIX CYLINDERS?! I deliberately didn't do a five or seven cylinder engine, because the guy having the "dream" has no idea about airplanes. Get it? (giggle)

I used a moving base with a square of 3/4 plywood as a floor

to have a stable place for the actors to stand on.

. . . It worked quite well. :-D

Black lining for hiding the interior.

Putter, Putter, VVVVVRRROOOOMMMM!!!

FINISHED!

The builder (Liam) and his flying machine.

On stage minus the actors.

I also made the companion > 'mini-plane' < for the actress to wear!
