Very nicely done.
I have one or two of these sitting in a box for "one day." Maybe I should split up the work and at least get the rivets done now.
I've done many plastic kits, two or three brass kits, but not wood.
Some questions if you're willing:
- What did you use to punch the rivets? Wondering if I can get away with a spring-loaded center punch, or if I need to see if one of my friends in the area has a Riveter I can borrow.
- The seating inside, very good looking cushions...how did you make those? Perhaps aluminum foil or black electrical tape?
- Did you seal the wood before assembly and/or painting? If yes, with what, and both sides?
- Did you paint before assembly or after?
- Handbrush or airbrush?
- I haven't read what glue to use, but I assume wood glue was used for the majority of the build.
- What type of paint did you use to paint the interior and exterior?
- Those look like Yoder trucks, which I was planning to use on mine. Anything special to use them with this kit?
- Is there enough room to really screw the kadee box into the wood? I imagine you can't tap the wood, so you've used some sort of wood screw?
