Here is a quick photo update of what's been going on.
Legs arrived from Henrick!
Legs stacked up how they should appoximately look when they are put together.
My wonderful husband got me a coin slot for Chrismas, and despite ordering it in November (we all know how runs can be) it didn't arrive until January.
Purchased a pair of motors to power the little guy.
This is the first leg completely glued and dry and all puttied up with wood putty for some preliminary sanding.
Second leg clamped and drying. Unfortunately despite the aligning dowels this one managed to shirt some and will require considerably more sanding than the first. Though both will require quite a bit of work still to get them to a real quality level.
Test fir of my beautiful new coin slot! It required a good deal of sanding to fit it into it's niche inside, but fits snugly, and was definitely worth the work. Now it just needs some paint and to be glued into it's home!
My boy now has a front outer skin! (Just applied and waiting to dry. I still have yet to work the seams on this... but at least I got it on there! lol
The project so far sitting on the skirt. (Looks fantastic, but nothing is attached to anything else yet. lol
