Little more progress...glued on the roof, and I must say
" it was actually easy as pie"! not what I was expecting that's for sure!! Got everything ready including several strips of painters tape, pretested shape, did a little tweaking here and there and glued away! ....
Bit more sanding, and paint
( still have to decide if I am going to camouflage it with that terrible "Mickey Mouse " pattern ) !
Then I did a test fit with the back wall...
nasty nasty nasty!!! Another case of not so great design and my modifications! Might be OK with basic kit version ( I did check with Wak and the original Beta build...and it is also bad, they didn't fix things after beta build!!) problem is this...side walls are supposed to fit over back wall, but there are no cover strips so the ends of the side walls are exposed..since I thickened the walls as they were so wimpy, it now looks
nasty!
I could glue and fill and paint but it will never look very good...at least not to my satisfaction! so...Here is my fix..printed up a new back wall to go over the whole thing...including the sides...then I can take the rivet strips that go up the sides and over the top at that edge and cover the edge of the new wall section, as it should have been to begin with.
I will cut it in 3 sections along the lines shown ( as repair panels, or as I have seen in some just the way some were skinned!) I can then cover those lines with rivet strips and be good to go! ( Hopefully ) !!
While being disgusted, frustrated and all that..worked up a standing jack...for the beast!
will put the handle on after jack has been sanded and painted...
till next time...
