My red PVC arrived and I started on the seat cushion and the back... I'm no upholsterer, so forgive the roughness of the final parts.
I made these by gluing a template to a piece of thin packing foam and cutting the shape out.
I then glued the foam to the back of the PVC (which has a kapok type fibre backing), cut it oversize and then went through a process of folding and gluing the PVC to the 'cushion'.
This is what I came up with...
Once the chair has been painted I will glue the cushions so they look a lot neater than in these photos. I chose the quilted look as that seemed to be the most common design for Thunderbirds utility type chairs.
Next update should have the circular base added.
