I fianlly got the front door fabricated. Ive been dreading making this part since I started this project 4 years ago. I knew I wanted it to actually work but I wasnt sure my skills could do it 4 years ago so back then I was entertaining just using brass doll house hinges. Im glad I never made it till now as I was up to the challenge to make it 100 percent accurate.
Now, if your an M32 expert you will notice I did not put the bullet splash on the bottom of the side of the door. I just dont think it would line up well into the hull and I was also afraid that if I tried too much heat the hinges would all fall apart and entire days worth of work would be lost along with my sanity so I just left them off. I could glue on some styrene strips later if I really want that look.... maybe. Enjoy the pics. Ive spent all night just looking it over. I played with the door in my fingers for a while just marveling at my work, really this one was a masterpiece by itself.
