I would have liked to have 1 mm on the outside, but my LHS was out, so it had to be 0,5mm

Side plate cut to shape and holes for Tools/cables etc are drilled

Would item not have been beter to include the superstructure tot the sideplate?
This was 1 single plate on the real machine

As it as stated in top of this topic:
<<This is out of my comfy zone , and I would think this small job is a no brainer for all that have been a little into evergreen sheet work>>

This guy is probably working with evergreen for the first time. Needs to learn.

Until now not bad result at all.

Jan

True true Reiner , a mistake by me . but Lucky only 0,5mm used for side plate , so the small gap between upper part and side wall will not be so noticable.. I will fill it With mud : Chessygrin :

What you canon also do is apply aan 0.5mm sheet tot the top part and fill the line beween the 2
Is a bit more work but looks far better that way : Thumbup : : Thumbup :

I will look into it . Maybe when I put top back on , it will not feel right without change that also.

BTW, on photo, the top super struckture is not 'snapped' into Place , only resting on top loosly ,
