Hello everyone. This is my first attempt at building a prop, or anything this size. I am not very good at building anything outside of miniatures. The power tools I am using are owned by wife and were given to her by my father over the last 15 years as gifts. I am used to pick things up and put them down.
I will post some photos soon, but right now I have the box built, frame around it and the front board in. I have some questions for those that have done this before:
1) The boards that Volvo panels attach to, are they screwed on or glued to cover the openings?
2) I glued and screwed my front panel. Do I need to seal the seam around it? Will the Elmer’s glue I used for carbonite leak under the frame?
3) Has anyone used the MONCAL end inserts? If so, how did you mount them.
4) I have seen people use bondo and others use wood filler. Either work? or is one heavliy recommended over the other one?
5) Is it recommended to fill the back of the Han Solo with expandable foam?
Thanks for the help.
Gerrit
