My PE work usually looks like I've assembled it with one of those :smiling5:

Very tidy work again Paul.

I decided to replace the plastic kit bin with a scratched one, the main reason for this I wanted to bend the lid about a bit. I suspected that the bins location would leave it open to be walked on and receive a lot of abuse as it is by the rear of the gun. So I used the kit one as a template and made the bottom and the lid from sheet brass. some hooks and clasps were then added and the lid knocked about a bit. The hinge was made from some copper wire.



Next the jacking block. I removed the moulded strap from the very plain plastic and added some wood texture. Added the kit etch frame and then added a foil strap. the feet were added along with some punched rivets.

Is there no end to the way you knock up bits for your builds. I couldn't manage a rivet head never mind scratching a kit locker from brass!!! Bleeding amazing!!!
