Re: Another birthday project. Update December 1, 2012
Well, Finally finished. I have to leave the capital off till I deliver it. With the capital, it is too tall to lay in my van. The holes are pre-drilled, when I get there, I'll just spread some contact cement, put in place and tighten it down.
I really underestimated the work involved in this. Funny how it didn't go together as quickly as the 1/35th scale furniture.
First, some close ups of details without the top.
Note the brass plates at the rear of the second shelf.
A close up of the plates.
The bottom shelf which also has the embroidered pattern of the top shelf.
Now, a full length shot!
I'll be delivering it to Gail on Friday, the eve of her birthday. On Saturday, the four of us will celebrate her birthday in Branson, just a hop and a skip from Springfield. While there, I'll get some photos of her and the curio and wrap up this thread.
