When I pulled out the drill from the hole and it was white! :lol:

Tin did warn to "avoid the risk" :lol:

Ahh, I love it when a plan comes together (loosely put together)...

Sorry, completely missed the writing on the tin. It even says 'position to avoid the risk'! What are the chances eh?! :lol:

Looking really nice. Glad to see it coming together so quickly.

Thanks apack. I'm off work for a week so making the most of the time. Bodies aching as got a bug but my mind doesn't care. Carry on... :lol:

 

[tigerham]

Huh, there's me thinking all the hard work was done and up comes the painting (and that's just the base coat :S ). Bring back the cutting. On a plus side the LED's arrived today. Really chuffed with them, nice and bright...

Looking good so far and can already see how it would feel finished. Nearly there. :lol:

Looking good tigerham, can't wait to see the final display, the LED's will look amazing

Those LEDs are like looking into the sun. Great job and it's coming together wonderfully. Can't wait to see it finished with your Mocs in it.

It's an arc reactor.

 

[apack7229]

That makes sense. :lol: The Stark industries diy display.

[tigerham]

Last stretch. Building the boxes and installing the LED's as I go along. The end is near (I think)...

 

[apack7229]

Looking great. Not long now.

 

[tigerham]

Are we nearly there yet?

*Groan. My body feels like someone's dragged it through a sandstorm then whacked it against a brick wall! :? Lol.

Relax time as have to let the adhesive cure for a day or two.

 

[tigerham]

Framework...

 

[apack7229]

Wow. That's seems tedious. How close are you once the frames are done?

 

[Snaketibe]

You're doing a stellar job! Well done on achieving so much in such a short time. This is coming together really quickly and I'm really looking forward to seeing the final results

 

[Ruby2511]

Looking good Tigerham, the finish line is in sight, really looking forward to seeing the finished product

To be honest it was nice and relaxing as I got to sit down while drinking some tea instead of kneeling on my knees or squatting, lol. Once the frames are done then all that's left to do is spray the frames, mount the display on it's hinges on the wall, fix skirting board on and just tidy up here and there.

Thank you for the kind words.

First frame mock-up (loosely in place)...

 

[apack7229]

Looking great. Can't believe how fast you've been putting this together.

My body can, lol. Thanks apack.

 

[tigerham]

I have to say... 'damn!'...

The ceiling is wonky, not the display (will do something about that gap later).

And on hinges for easy access to the back (had to move the ceiling light for the display door to open so made a few holes, lol)...

And this is how it all started on computer...

Just got the finishing touches to do including a fixed boxed skirting board on the bottom of the closed display.

 

[Taffius]

Awesome. Some skills there. When is population day?

 

[Snaketibe]

That looks fantastic! One quick question though having now seen the window right next to your display; what are you doing about UV protection? You seem far too sensible and knowledgeable to ignore the fading threat posed by UV, so will you have blinds up to prevent natural light falling on your MOCs? Do you have UV film on the windows (which helps a lot, but isn't perfect)? Or have you something else up your sleeve?

I bet there is a sheild that drops down from the roof like a false wall? :lol:
