Another small update showing a lil more progress with this sucker then.
So the putty on the body is all rubbed back and it's turned out not to bad on the edges, very little infact was required once sanded back. I still layed it on as i like to try and nail it on the first go and not have ta keep re applying putty. Of course thats what we all like and we all know that don't happen as much as we'd like. Anyway, this scrubbed up not to shabby.
With that done it was back to the dead mans section to see what things i could try and ruin there. For the most part after glueing it all on it looks ok. It should scrub up with some putty and sandings afterwards. We'll see there i guess...
Anyway i built this up doing all the side walls first and the top pieces last. Reason being i wanted to reinforce all the joins as much as i could and the only way to achieve this was to build it the way i did. I have to thank Charles for giving me that bug, it sure does make all the joins nice and rigid. Hopefully no popping panels over time anyway.
So heres a couple of snaps, before i get to the putty.. That is always fun that part!
