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 .

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 .

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

yes sir . i think it would do good here . still a lot unknow on this prop and for sure goes hand and hand with boba ............or lol han and han with boba . ;)
 
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.
 
Dark amon thanks and Pm the man right above your post for the front pull(Han) :) stormrider

I'd guess a little under 150 pds SR. And thank u sir :)
