John"s Slumbercoach update (Micro)

Postby Micro469 » Sun Jul 01, 2007 9:49 pm

Finally got to a point where I think it's worth posting a few pics. It's a good thing i love building this sucker, bcause it sure is time consuming...

O.K. Hatch ready for skin..
Image


First layer of luan...
Image

Final result...
Image

Plastic hinge...I routed off the last layer of birch 1/8" on the roof and hatch and screwed the hinge down with Dap caulking underneath it. It came out level with the second layer of skin, I put the 1x2's on top to cover the screws..
Image

Image

Got the molding around the doors and rough cut the molding around the fenders...
.Image

Image

Worked on the galley lid, got the handle on, got the plate holder on, got the light holes cut...will wait until i can test the lights before popping them in.... not sure I can get them back out..

John,
I don't know if it is the best way, but I have a window just like yours from Grant that I was planning on putting some plain flat molding around stained the same color as my interior wood. Plus I figured the curtain would help hide it. At least when it is down. :lol:
