British Teardrop builder

Postby dvddvd » Thu Nov 19, 2015 4:57 pm

Just found the forum, which is a shame as I just finished my Teardrop, weather has turned bad in the UK before I could use it much this year so have garaged it and will finish the polishing next year.

So a few photos of the Teardrop
I wrote a book on building it, which seemed to take longer than building the teardrop !

Inside view with two seating areas that convert to a bed.
Fold down table with heater and led lighting and a Tv and DVD player.

The walls are fully upholstered, (padded) very easy to do, using 3mm plywood panels with wadding and then fabric stretched over it and stapled on the back of the panels. Like you would do to make a bed headboard. Soft to touch, warm and adds a bit of colour.

Stable door is great, even in the British weather it gets warm in there ! We had to have the top half open cause it was to warm and just laid in bed watching the morning break and the sun rise over the Yorkshire countryside.
