Gingerbread almost done....Am I beating Mary K.??.. Updated

Postby Micro469 » Sun Jul 22, 2007 9:29 pm

Got one side of the gingerbread on the tear cut out, and half of it is glued down. I ran out of lumber for the other side..(read money) and that's going to have to wait till next week. Hopefully I can get this side glued/epoxied on and start plugging the screw holes this week.

I still have to put 1/2"x1.5" strip along the roof, I think I'm going to use 1/8 ply and epoxy them together..... ;)

You have been ahead of me from the start and I have been so happy to copy all the tough stuff. Your TD is beautiful... :thumbsup:

John!

Your trailer is BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to see your baby done. Are you planning on hauling down to the IRG next year? (hint, hint)

Great job!
Joanne

Are your screw holes on the trim spaced every 6" or so? Wow - that really looks fantastic.

Don't be beatin' MaryK! :R

Your trim looks great. I love the contrast with the dark panels. Lots of screws to plug. Are you going to plug with same colored wood, or a dark wood to show 'em off? Also, are you buying plugs, or making your own?
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

GINGERBREAD!????!!!! I collect it ! Everything with gingerbread boys, girls, houses.... then there's the gingerbread architecture style.

If you look at my earliest threads, my teardrop was going to be the BREDBOX and I was going to try to incorporate that into the 'theme'... ya know, a little Hansel & Gretel type....

You're looks great -- congrats!!!
Some things are way over my head !! ...but it keeps me looking UP!
