How to Make a Model Hot air Balloon (Sewing)

UPDATE: - Link to this balloon on its test inflation https://youtu.be/7NGrpsgWrzA

During the summer I took the opportunity to build a new Radio Control RC model Hot Air Balloon. I use traditional Ripstop Nylon fabrics in the construction of all my model balloons - the same types as used in a full scale balloon - which requires me to sit down and sew (despite my reservations about my skill levels at sewing).
This model is an AM7 type 60 meter cubed model, capable of lifting around 20KG - I've included a parts counter as a bit of fun, numbers on the parts count fluctuate up and down as I cut and then assemble the various parts if you can work out the total number of parts, I'd like to hear from you in the comments.

I've been wanting to create a film to inspire others and show that the process of building a model balloon does not require and special skills, only time patience and a small space, while cutting in my video uses a specialist circular cutting tool for this build, it is more than possible to individually cut panels by hand, using scissors or a manual roller blade

the balloon is currently unnamed, so drop a like and leave a comment on what you think it should be named on it's first flight
