Progress, problems and solutions!

As you can see, I am actually making progress! Soon the entire box will be complete, and I can start working on the more interesting parts.
In case you're wondering why the greenstuff is there, well... I needed something to fill the crevices where my cutting had been sub-par, and I though Liquid Greenstuff would do the trick. Well, it almost worked, it's just that I don't fancy buying the amount of greenstuff needed.
So instead, I just came up with another solution!
How, you ask? By cutting out "stripes" of the foamed pvc and glue them there! It'll hold well, support the structure and get rid of the crevices! It'll even act as alcoves upon which I can place the roof (one problem I had was how to get a detachable roof to sit tight - and now it just solved itself!).
So all in all, things are going at a good pace.

Progress 19th Jan

Just a little WIP picture...

First pieces cut and wokring!

Okay, so turns out I have no saw suitable for the task of cutting the sheets - and my local DIY shop has none! But fret not, for after having sawed with a sub-par saw for half an hour I accidentally noticed that by cutting deep into the sheet with a knife, I'm able to break the pieces perfectly! Hooray!

Slight miscalculations along with material!

So, finally I have gotten hand of some material. I bought six sheets of Foamed PVC from Antenocitis workshop (I think they are A3 sheets, they are one size bigger than A4 Edit: - They are actually bigger than an A3). I even starter marking some lines of where to saw. However, I noticed something. My measurements were off, too small.
So after searching around I found out that Malifaux miniature are a little bigger than I though. After finding the picture below, I had a better shot of calculating scale as well as having asked some of the friendly folks over at the forum Dakkadakka.

I thank Bluedagger for having posted this picture online

Now, let's see. I personally own a Moderator (the unpainted miniature), and she measures exactly... 33mm high. Now, that pink-dressed showgirl is even taller, almost to the tip of the gun, which is 39mm up. This fits well with facts I have receive from Dakkadakka, that Malifaux measures between 35 - 40 mm.
For good measure, I'm gonna call it 38mm. That's 3.8 cm.
And that means that I have to crunch numbers again.

Let's say that the Showgirl is 175 cm high "in real life" (probably a bit shorter, but hey, she got heels...). 175 divided by 3.8 is 46. That means that the scale is 1:46.
Copying the measurements I've taken before...

Width:
Full - Min. Stuff - Window - Pants
1900 1700 1100 850


Width:
Full - Min. Stuff - Window - Pants
41.3 36.9 23.9 18.5

Depth:

Height:
Roof - Stage
1050 120

Height:

Finally, all done... Again. Every measurement in cm, and hopefully correct this time.
Wish me luck when I try to cut the PVC up.
