Now I&#8217;ve decided to dive in       to the process of creating a more final version: in this first       attempt I&#8217;ve used the same cut-out templates as I used for the       paper chest, but I cut the parts from 1mm styrene sheet and       miter-joined them with solvent glue and black CA.  The resulting       chest block feels reassuringly solid.  However, after building       the chest block I realized that there were some important       differences between the templates I&#8217;d used for the paper chest       and the current design plans: specifically, the paper chest       block didn&#8217;t include the angled plane at the bottom of the back,       and the upper planes of the back were the same parallel, upright       surfaces from the initial design.  This is unfortunate, as it       means I must either hack-and-patch the newly created chest block       to fix it, or else make a new one.  At the moment I&#8217;m leaning       toward the second option due to the numerous small changes that       would need to be made to the existing part in order to correct       it.  Quite a blunder: but nonetheless the completion of this       part gives me a nice feeling of progress in the project.<br \/>\n<a title=\"Front view (1)      \" href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_070111_chest_1.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_070111_chest_1_thumb.png\" alt=\"Front view (1)\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Front view (2)\" href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_070111_chest_2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_070111_chest_2_thumb.png\" alt=\"Front view (2)\" \/><\/a><a title=\"Rear view\" href=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_070111_chest_3.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/model-data\/1_100_Zaku_Kai\/zakufz_070111_chest_3_thumb.png\" alt=\"Rear view\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A while back I created a paper model of the chest based on my design plans &#8211; it was a bit crude but it was very reassuring to see my design as a real 3-D object and feel confident that it was correct.
