Paul it's looking great! Nice work on the hatch!
I see you did PMF on the tongue box. Will that get a piano hinge? I had this idea for a flap on the front where you have your window that lifts up to make a sort of an awning and open a screened window, if you can imagine that. Sort of like the older designs from the 30s. I was wondering if it would work to install the hinge first. protect it with a strip of tape and then sort of PMF over the entire thing so the PMF went right over the hinge to the "door" (awning) to protect it all from water. Sounds a little iffy- I'd have to do some sort of mock up. You could then take it apart and remove the tape. Maybe the best idea would be to PMF everything first, then install the hinge and a fabric strip over that.
Well, it's one of those ideas that will bounce around in my head for a while.
