Yet Another Gold Test
PART 8: Yellow and red food coloring with Liquitex High Gloss Varnish over Alclad II Polished Aluminum over black gloss (Yes, I dumped food coloring directly into the Liquitex bottle!) Wow, super interesting. I was able to get quite a nice shine on this part. Following an online guide, I...

Now you're just showing off
That looks great!! Are there tutorials or read me's on assembly? - I can't find anything-nor build logs.
How heavy is this this becoming. Very curious with the prints/lumber combo. Remember, Rebelscums original build was not from 3D printed parts and I'm not finding anything other than those kits he sold.

There's absolutely nothing. Im not even convinced mine is the right size. Lol. I went to put the bottom trim panels on the box and non of them fit. Lol. Its going to take a little tweaking, but i am overly ecstatic about it. It looks amazing and I love it.Now you're just showing off

When you made the wood box, did you miter cut the ends or did you connect them on the edges? I think one way makes the box longer.
I'm just drooling over your pictures--I would be very excited if I were you as well. Outstanding man--looks killer!!!!
Even though we are using the 3D prints, I am starting to believe we should be looking more at the assembly from the original kit build. I'm thinking he may have just substituted the parts from resin to PLA with the slight exception for the leaves. His original kit was wood with leaves laid on top and being 3D printed, there was no real reason to have to shape the wood seeing how it can be achieved via print forming.

We thought about the mitre and said screw it. Lol. Honestly if I had the bottom of the Ark measurements. The very bottom piece it would have been a lot smoother. But honestly im drooling. Wait till you see what I build to go with this. Going to be epicI believe you are correct-- This page below shows the miter

How wide are your top corners for the upper leaves? Just curious now because you teased saying you're not sure if you're printing the correct size. If yours and mine are the same, I'd say we're good. Mine came out to be 6 inches wide
