Hello all. I wanted to take this time to show off my HIC build. I couldn't have done it with out all the research I have done on this forum and various others. Thank you all for posting.
I started with 1/2" plywood to build the box. I used the plans that I found on here and everything lined up just great. I then filled the seams and screw hole with Bondo and sanded away. I purchased the casting from kingjawa and it was very promptly shipped. Thanks. Finally glued Han to the box and did the wood glue approach for the texturing. This step made me very nervous but I couldn't be happier with the results. I finally painted it as per the paint colors I found on here. I am currently doing the black wash and should be finished in the next couple days. As for the panals I am waiting for the parts from various members and just going to complete them I the future. So here are pictures of the process. It looks like the picture posted out of order but you get the idea.
