Woodworking

The module frame can be of 1”x6” construction grade or better wood, straight and solid material, free of excessive knots and selected for strength and appearance.

#  The module surface shall be constructed of any of the following materials:

The hardware indicated on the drawings is available at most hardware stores.

Provide sufficient data for assembly so that persons other than the builder may assemble the unit.

Skyboards are optional. They should be removable except if they are a permanent part of the diorama scene on the module.

#  The sides and legs shall be painted black. Paint shall be provided by the club.

Gusset plates are to be attached to the tops of the leg clamp areas (see Fig. 1, Fig 2a, Fig 2b, Fig 3b) This will prevent pushing foam bases up and causing tracking problems.
