    Good evening everyone
     
    well the inside has bee lined and the floor has been done onto a template, go in later when i have varnished it
    this evening i started the outside bulking out the side panels in 2x5mm strip wood, this will then be faired off

     

    this is from the instructions on how to achieve the fairing

    good afternoon everyone
     
    the outside skin never went quite to plan, all my efforts to put it on straight resulted in well, it not going on straight,  i ended up with a rather odd looking twisted box. one end was ok. so i but line across and removed the other end, re applied and it is ok now,
    i never noticed it the time as there is a large off cut to allow for being off centre
    the walnut veneer is slowly going in, but its a pain, so fragile
     
    the photo's do me no favours at all
     
     
     

     
    the ok end


    and the not so ok

    the walnut veneer is slowly going in, but its a pain, so fragile

    thank you, the kit provides for the window blinds and lettering, in fact the kit does a good set up - but as i have found in the past AL does provide poor strip-wood
    lamps are also included, powered by a 9 volt battery, but they look over sized
