    Those trees have worked out very well indeed. That really is coming together nicely.

                      Won't need any armour Bob, it's too well protected by a battery of 152mm Artillery.

                        Greetings from the bunker here at Race Towers. What a miserable day, been raining nearly all day, so no gardening :crying:.

                        The good thing however was the outer frame has been assembled. Used double sided tape from 3M. What fun a stressful time trying to remove the top to expose the adhesive, consider it worse than joining plastic tracks !.

                        It works and is quick, but not easy.

                        First photo shows the base section of foam board in place, the masking tape was to help align it, as you get only one chance.

                        Then came the supports to lift up the inner box in line with the surround card, see the lines on the inner side of the face.

                        With them in place the inner box is now the correct height.

                        The top is weighted down while the glue dries.

                        All in all a pleasant day, very enjoyable to see it come to plan.

                        Not long now until I can wire up the new battery box and have the first real look at those lights.
                        Cleaning up of that main front beam and a couple of side section to hold the box in position left to do.

                        Thanks for following and comments always welcome.

                        Dzhon.

                                Nothing in the tress Tim, but the flashing lights. They are at the back. Representing the muzzle flashes.
