GenBen corner radius question

[shoeman]

Hey, I've had the week off so I've been working like mad on my project. Finished the final trailer weld details and painted it and now it's a completed roller. Got the floor made and tarred (big fun!) and cut both my walls today. Cutting the doors was a bit hairy but not bad.
Here's my question.. some of you are rounding the lower corners on the Generic Benroy for a more period look and I like that. Anybody have a particular radius they used that looks good?
I marked 'em at 2.5" and then 3." and I think 3" looks better.

Hi Shoeman, Before you settle on the radius, try and bend the material that you will bee skinning it with. You will probable have a hard time with anything under 4”.

I think 3" would look better.

Any of my layouts that use radii for the bottom of the doors are at 3".

Yeah, 3" just looks "right".
Since the wall will cover the frame , which is 2", will some of the floor be exposed? I'll have to mock it up with paper tomorrow to see. Might be a problem, might not.

Draw it up full size on brown wrapping paper.

I actually made a template from some 4x8 cardboard my wood supplier gave me. His wholesaler uses that as cover sheets when shipping sheet goods to him and he saves them all.
So there's a tip for anybody buying plywood from a mill work shop, ask if they have any 4x8 cardboard kicking around and grab it.
One other reason to skip the big boxes if you can.
