Thanks for the comments guys,

Latest work, cockpit tube blu-tacked in place to get the idea 

Panels

The inside

Top view, with fixed angle

I went to a fabric shop (ohh, holds up handbag ha,ha) I knew in my mind what sort of thing I was looking for, but I eventually found this stuff in the curtain section, its called 'Monsoon Slot Tape Clear'

I cut off all the moulded seams to free up the strands....I used a blade to dig out some of the vertical strands and leave a ladder style Koolshade effect, I then cut out a frame to surround the material

KoolShade in place
