Looking good, Greg.

I know what you mean about putting curves in clear stock. I've started using the cellophane from food packaging.

I'm planning on taking a trip to Dick Blick art supply store in Iowa City or Galesburg, IL soon to see if I can find a bulk source of clear cellophane or similar that I can use for curved windows a little easier than the stuff I have now. Then I'll just use the stiffer stuff for flat panes which it works fine for.

Hi Greg.
I found that the clear stock you use for overhead projectors works well for me .
Very nice build.

Thank you all for the kind comments, encouragement and advice. That's one thing I love about this forum, there is no lack of positive reinforcement. Even when I know I'm building a turd.

The van box is currently underway. I'll take pictures as I go and post as a group. The build is going slow due to motivation and distraction. I only average a few parts cutout and assembled each night. Maybe I'll be inspired this weekend and marathon build or something, who knows.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi Greg.
Sorry i,m a bit lost, Where i,m from a (turd) is not a model, i,ve even tried to find a model called that, but can,t, so to be honest think you must have been on a bit of a downer,.
Come on mate, pick the tools up and show us what you can do

Due to technical issues and apathy this last post has been delayed. So here is the end result immediately preceded by the building of the box.

I'm not recommending this one to anybody (sorry GPM). Hopefully, if it is ever reissued, it will be computerized and have more complete instructions and drawings.

On to the next build...

Greg

Instructions (fairly complete and correct instructions) do make life easier.

You seem to have done very well, in spite of having to work out a number of things, like lamination thickness, on your own.

Don't know how I missed this 'till now
Looks like it all turned out pretty good in the end
Look forward to seeing what's next on your list
