Salut
Sorry this will be in English. Thought it deserved its own post.
I am building a new watch box to house my BR collection.
My dad works at a historical aviation museum and got the base structure.
I have built the inside piece to hold my watches.
I have been looking for inspiration at the museum.
The outside will be covered is sheet metal and riveted to look like aircraft skin.
I am going go build a small box to hold my watch straps and tools, that will fit in the back and add LED lighting.
The outside will then get decals and other aviation inspired graphics.
EnjoyImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage

Update. Its been ages since I posted on here or did any work on the watch box, you know how life gets in the way.
Anyway, have now cut all plastic side bits, got mild steel edging cut, lighting fixed and watch slots in place.
Plan is to pop rivet everything together and paint it matt aluminium. I will have the lid in fluorescent green, that should look good with my full lume.
Its called The Flight Box.

Making progress today. This part will take a while. I need to pre-assemble and pre-drill all holes for the rivets.
Will also need to paint some of the inner parts before next stage of assembly ImageImageImageImage

It's time I updated and got this finished. A year or so on hold while I moved house.
I have now made all the metal leading edges and side panels. All holes marked for riveting.
Need to drill holes, pre fit and the plan painting stage.
Will update again soon ImageImageImageImageImage
