Hey, it is an update on the Bing Autoplan<\/a>!\u00a0 It has been awhile, sorry, but there was some logistics and paperwork that needed to be completed to finalize the conservation plans. It took time, but progress is being made.<\/p>\n

Covering:<\/p>\n

Remember how in the last post about the Bing Autoplan <\/a>we said that we planned to cover our Bing Autoplan in linen?\u00a0 Well, after further research and discussion we changed our minds.\u00a0 The final decision is that we are covering the model in airplane cotton.\u00a0 The fabric would originally have been doped, but instead we are going with a shellac.\u00a0 The shellac will look like dope, but won\u2019t have the same long-term stability problems inherent with dope.\u00a0\u00a0 Like the original auctioned last year in Germany, this will be stitched onto the frame.<\/p>\n

Conservation:<\/p>\n

Conservators at the ICA<\/a> are hard at work cleaning and stabilizing the metal components.\u00a0 They sent an update with a picture yesterday, and promised more to come.<\/p>\n
