Nice carpentry skills. Keep up the great work my friend

Thanks mate, will do .

Morning John. This is really interesting, as usual. You are very good at these box dioramas. I wouldn't know where to start!
John.

Thanks John , it does take some getting use to with the box in a box. Give it a go please.:thumb2:

Great stuff on the box housing John. Going to look fabulous when it’s all filled with 4BO goodness :thumb2:

Cheers Tim:smiling3:

NEVER!!

Neil, well I knew you wouldn't feel that way .

Today saw the fixing of the outer box to the frame. Using 3M double sided 5mm wide tape after much measuring and marking out with scrap bits of modelling tape.
Removing the face cover of the double sided tape is fun, the grip is so good I have to use the scalpel blade to hold the sticky section down and a pair if fine tweezers to removes the surface cover.
Fitting the box itself is a one chance affair, go wrong at this point and its back to the drawing board.

All stuck down now the removal

Box on .



Looking ok.
Decided to add a glue line inside the frame / box just to make sure.


Then to make doubly sure some weights on top ! Can't take and risks can you


Then I had a slight tidy up , panic not fellow members of the UTC , only the bench area. Seeing this Christine called for Matron !

Thanks for looking in.
John.

Now that the box is in the "bag" so to speak, what's next?......or are you still under sedation? :tongue-out3:

First box done Rick, now the internal and main one is ready to be worked on . Today the Kappa face boards will be exposed and the long job of imprinting bricks on some areas .No need for sedation when working with foam board :nerd:

That looks great Mr.Race.
