Han In Carbonite in Canada - Build thread

Nipple madness

Took me about !5 minutes to clean, wash and dry all 35!

Primered. Placed for color check only. And I think I'll leave them that way...

It has a nice bluish look to it that is very screen used!!

I tested both hot glue and super glue and one hurts more than the other!! Super glue is the way to go though as hot glue can pop super easily!

Hopefully, last layer of bondo to correct the remaining small imperfections on the box.

Also planning the wall mount for this. I weighted the whole box without the volvo side panels at 78lbs. I'm planning to buy a TV rack like this:
http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082822&p_id=4114&seq=1&format=2. This one is 32" large so would be hidden behind the box.

Anyone has objection or tried anything else?

I used a similar model and it has been rock solid. Just make sure to anchor it into the studs and you'll be fine.
 
Small work on the Hero 2 panel.

I wanted to replicate the darker border edge within the Bronica frame as seen here...

Figured out what surface the Bronica part was hiding and taped the edge...

Then more paper to protect the panel.

Remove tape and Bronica in place.

Close enough! :thumbsup

Good spot... I didn't even notice that when I built mine. I'll need to add it as a separate layer now. :thumbsup
 
What colours did you end up with for your panels and greeblies? I've seen a lot of people just using the grey primer.
 
Between two errands, I had time this week end to go buy some racks! Found a fixed rack, good up to 165 lbs. I just needed about 80 but better safe than sorry. This cost me about 30$ usd. Really cheap but terribly solid.

Installed on wall, I decided to install it closer to the center of the box instead of too high to preven being able to pull on it (kids) from the bottom and risking damaging anything. Here's an approx look of how the brackets get mounted on the box. Plywood installed on the side 2x3. I just need to figure out how much space I want between the box and the walls. I have no idea yet.

To do all this, I had to flip my box, and sit it on each side. Don't forget to give Han some breathing room in there!

It is so satisfying to finally hang it up. You'll find yourself standing there staring at it for no reason other than it makes you happy.

Hahaha .. that made me laugh .. that's exactly what I plan to do .. figure out proper lighting too! Luckily, I have a light right over it too!
You are so right Wolf!!! I want to hang it now, and it's not even painted! :) It would finally clear the garage for our next project though! :) Soon .. soon!
 
What I wanted to do is fix a 2x4 to the middle and top lateral 2x3s .. but I can't do it since I still haven't received my MC plugs that I ordered back in october. Until I have them, I don't want to place anything close to that area for I'm affraid to have the support in the way of whatever I'm gonna have to do in that area. Also, I'm not even sure how the fitting is of the MC plugs in the Zenix box. I'm not too affraid of the work if it doesn't fit, but I'd still love to know ..

Another note about those plugs .. when ordered, it was an 8 to 12 months delivery delay. I'm now at my 19th months and no news from Jeff. I tried sending them an email asking for a true realistic ETA on when those will be ready or at least, where I am on the payment list. No reply either. I don't mind about delays - anyway I'm not ready yet to paint it - but there's nothing I hate more than radio silence on a seller's part. They were quick enough when it was time to send payment though ...

Let's hope that it's just a temporary thing and that I'll get those plugs soon! If you planned on having those in your box, order them now, it's about 100$ + 60$ shipped in Canada.
 
Just spend 2 hours on this. Wall mount is now done!!

2 vertical side mount added between middle and top ones. Then a cross bar between those and the middle ones. The plywood you see in the third picture was dropped onto the horizontal bars. All pieces were glued in place .. hopefully, it's solid enough .. it's only 80 lbs after all!

Forgot to take pictures of the mounted brackets! :wacko but you get the picture!!

Then flipped again and new holes were puttied. I need one last coat of primer and if everything goes well, paint should go in next!!!

Had some help this morning to get this on the wall. I wanted to make sure that everything was fine before finalizing the paint work on this.
Happy to report that this is a total success! It's leveled, and first perfectly on the rack!

Excuse the ugly iphone pics .. there's gonna be much more soon! :)
