It looks pretty reflective. I think it turned out great. No mistaking this prop at first glance for sure. Nice job!- I'd be proud
The rail pieces are to align directly to the top reveal sticking above the top leaves section. The build calls for 3/4 inch plywood or MDF -the leaves cover 1/2 inch (or so)( need the actual number but just an example)of that board with the top 1/4 inch remaining. Those rail pieces align directly to that reveal making it look like a solid connection. Only the corners will have nothing touching. I have been studying for weeks now and I have seen builds that don't align this way and some that do. The devil is in the details. Most wouldnt catch this at all so I would fret over it. Look directly at the blue-green rails and see how they attach to the grey remaing section of the the top board.
So is this considered the hero version? I'm not really sure if there were multiple Arks or not. Yes I know about the cardboard one--not counting that
. I can see the inside top piece is unfinished- wondering what the lid underbelly looks like
The resin glue works well on PLA for a filler ??
Yes, I prefer clear UV resin glue because its thicker so wont drip and you can fill the gap all the way up all at one time and the UV light can reach to the bottom, opposed to using grey resin like in my video where I had to fill gaps in thin layers due to light penetration.
I use a combination of Rafid fuse super glue and loctite extreme. I also counter sank screws
I did the $5 tear
I think that's as cheap as you can go. Look for the Google drive in the exclusives folder. It's tricky to find.
