To get away from the tedious wall construction that I have been doing for the last few days, I decided it was time to construct the tunnels. This is something that I had been putting off because of the potential complexities in building curved roofs at an an angle but equally those complexities now seemed fairly attractive compared to the tedium of wall building!
There was a lot of trial fitting and measuring but eventually I was at the stage where I could extend one of the inner tunnel walls and create a curved card top to create the tunnel roof.
As card tends to warp when glued it was necessary to add a straight edge and clamp the card whilst the glue set
It just needs to all dry then it can be mounted on top of the tunnel walls where, hopefully, it will fit! It will be a bit tedious if it doesn't!
Talking of tedious, another two door linings/frames got a first coat of varnish. Another coat and they should be done which just leaves me two more to do. Doing the job in that cloakroom is like having a different sort of tunnel vision with its narrowness!
