Page the seventh - in which (some time later!) I do some much needed updates and present some of the features.

Some tidying up is necessary: the top has been left loose - this has been good for ventilation but not good for completeness! The slide-out drawer needs a front and the speaker panel needs painting. Let's see what we can do on a Sunday afternoon...
PinkGrip is this week's favourite building adhesive
|
"WARNING - NOT FOR AMATEUR USE" - yeah right!
|
That'll help secure the rear top panel
|
Messy stuff but it cleans up good.
|
The panel is levelled with clamps...
|
...and a couple of glue blocks on the inside will fix it OK.
|
A view from the front -- ooh, there's my car in the drive!
|
Now, a front for the slide-out drawer.
|
The workings!
|
The top section doors open - they have magnetic catches. What's that inside? An original GameBoy and a Sanwa bat joystick!
|
The bottom section doors open - lots of junk get s kept in here!
|
The drawer front is attached with simple angle brackets.
|
I really need to do something with the front of the control panel.
|
The speaker panel painted. Matt black looks very cool!
|
The paintwork is battered but that's to be expected: it gets a lot of use and abuse - especially when transported.

More later, Mick.
