Are you going to leave the gun box as unfinished wood? It seems a bit off compared to all the other textures you've got going on.

It's mostly a timing issue, and I kind of like the wood. (The piece that made the front was one of the nicer grained sheets I got).

I'm trying very hard to not let perfectionism be the enemy of "good enough" on this project.

Will you pull some of the raffia over the net strings at all, or leave it with the strings showing?

When I first put the raffia on, there was a breeze blowing, and it's so light and fluffy it completely uncovered the canvas! I'm afraid the same thing will happen as he's rolling along. If I had one more raffia skirt I'd consider trying a single layer loose on top to see how it looks.

Brilliant. Will you be sitting down inside this thing?

kproche February 11 2011, 17:27:18 UTC

Yup. There may even be a loaner voice modulator coming for me

Awesome! I would love to see you rolling around a con in that thing. Hee hee!

Wheee!

One thought, if it happens you have time, would be a very light stain/varnish/poly-seal on the gunbox, to keep the natural graining & wood-ness, but also give it a bit more finish.

Excellent work, it looks great. How's the comfort level inside, do you have good speed "motivating" it so to speak?

I have to get it out of the garage and into an appropriately surfaced room to try.
