My Diorama

[Wurger]

Won't it be too heavy?

 

[B-17engineer]

As in the wood breaking apart? Its not to to heavy

 

[Wurger]

So OK.

 

[B-17engineer]

I am not just dropping it on I am that childish but enough so I can make artillery craters and what not...

 

[Wurger]

Sounds good.Keep working on.

 

[B-17engineer]

Thanks will do!

What's your base now B17? Looks like fiberboard with screws in it.

 

[B-17engineer]

I really don't have a clue....it was behind the glass when I took it out. Oh those are hinges that hold it in the frame behind it.

 

[Matt308]

Cool. Is it sturdy enough? Does it flex easily? If it does, don't use it. Your base board must be pretty sturdy. Otherwise your spackle, when dry, will likely crack if the base flexes. Double fiberboard, 1/4" plywood or thicker, or something along those lines will be perfect.

hmm may have to go get some or something this weekend...

 

[B-17engineer]

Hold on now that I think of this... I have an old wine box made of wood and the top of the box is broken could i add support to the bottom of the board....Have my dad screw them together of something?

 

[Matt308]

[B-17engineer]

[B-17engineer]
