thanks very much mate ,yeah im trying my best to get a bit of detail happening ,its all the small things that make it into an all round job well done so thats what im aiming at .....
so a little one today things been a bit slow lately but slowly making things happen.......
today finished off one of the sides......

theres the area i was trying to cover............
i decided to make the hole side removable ,just so there wasnt like lots of little parts you had to remove if you needed too,so to do this i attached the top piece and the end piece and now a front piece of wood alltogether with small brackets and mdf..................

also making a hole in the side to access where im hoping to put a battery..........

so after all that was fitted together bit of a test fit to see where i was at.........

so theres the basic side sitting in place ...



then i tidyed up the edges and filled over the screw holes etc and sanded it all up in to a more tidy state..............



next figured out the set up for the little door thing.............

and after much fiddling with the little door its on and in place.........



and thats about it ,thats taken me all day so im off to sleep hahahha
but before i bugger off just wanta go back a bit and show this............
this was before i started the tray area.............

and this was last week.............

so you can cleary see it has come along way from the start!!!!!!,quite please with how this is all turning out ,its nearly the same as my original idea that i done on paint
