Thanks I'm glad you like it, yeah as you say the wood glue is good and it is as it says on the bottle stronger than the wood it's self, I can say that for sure as on another viv build I glued two pieces of mdf together and then later on I needed to seperate a piece of off cut, and it split in two but not where the glue was, it was the mdf that spit. I am really pleased with it although there are a couple of things I want to improve at some point, such as I want to buy some aluminum edging to cover the edges to tidy it up a bit so you can't see the panel pins I used to nail it togehter and also the edges are a bit rough, as I used pva as a base coat so that you get a smoother finnish on the spray paint but the edges still came out a bit rough. Also before sealing the inside I wanted to paint a sky background but for some reason the paint dried in a crackle glazed sort of way which ruined it, so I though I'd just seal it to get it finnished as it was taking a long time by that point, and then at some point I'll buy a nice picture background, theres a nice egyptian scene here

The only problem is it will cost as much for the background as it did for my entire viv build lol, but if I had the spare cash it would look great especially with the substrate I'm using. Do you or anyone else on here know where you can get similar but cheaper backgrounds from? I know you can get cheaper ones that they sell in pet shops and off e-bay but I wanted something a bit differn't like the one on the site abouve.
Thanks again
Martin
