Moving forward...

you can see the "axle" dowel fitted here.
It is a 6mm wooden dowel with no paper covering.

It is unclear if the actual Limber has an axle tube running through the box...
there appears to be bolt on Hubs on either side of the box.
But, I learned from the Saladin build, that a light solid axle is much better for support (for paper wheels).



As you can see in the above photo, I am building up the frame/base of the box with layered parts.
These will build up the area where the Hubs attach.

Many other details must be applied to the box surfaces...like these angled reinforcing sections.



Also added - the lower extensions (to the underside panel).
Not sure why these are added on the real thing?...it doesn't seem possible that the box could bottom,
but maybe they are added as skid bumps or some sort of extra ground protection?



And, to finish the side panels, I added these raised sections.
On the real thing, the side panels are embossed for strengthening.

I made the mistake of double layering these parts.
They only need to be a single layer added to the side panels,
but they accidentally got lumped in with other parts that I double layered.
So my side panel 3D details are bit exaggerated.
