Interesting note to self: It took almost as long to clean the pieces as it did to cut and assemble them.

They are still on the shelf until I decide how I want to correct the light on top. And have the time to do so, of course. Also, this was my first attempt at using CMC with white powder (See the “Police Box” text). It didn’t keep the same form and shape as the [...]
