    next i laid out the side panal holes . i cut them to mount the panals strait to the side of the box . they should be recessed back some .

    Re: my hic

    i put tons of staples all over the plywood for the carbinite to stick to . also don't mix to much at once . it sets quick .

    the yellow is wood glue i added to help save on the carbinite . i took a puddy knife and flatted out the big pour . went back and poured over it again to smooth it out a little .

    Re: my hic

    hit up jon @ fettronics . he built me a awesome set of lights . i put 2 hero panals on it . one on each side as seen in esb .

    photo-1-.jpg

    hunted up pieces and parts to fill in the panals . not at all accurate but tried to keep it close.

    Re: my hic

    The rubber is flex 80 from alumilite. The stock stuff is a little different than what they mix for me. Begins set at 5 mins, open time is 7-9. After that its putty for a min, then its time to throw it away.

    Project looks great. How much does it weigh?

    Super job m8.

    Finished up my star wars room. Got the HIC hung on the wall. Thought it looked good enough to share. The video is the whole room. My entire star wars collection. Little to much for the small room.
