thought about it. but i don't really want to add ugly unrealistic hinges on the top, and I'm having a hard time finding a small piano style hinge

romulus22 01-08-2010 10:50 PM

they are always on ebay and every time i have bid on one i get outbid at the last min. there's always someone out there willing to pay more than i am. the ones that i have been watching recently have been going for lower than Ive seen them go for in a while

Well it depends how far into the build you are, but I guess I should finish a build before i start giving philisophical advice.

I found mine at Michaels craft store on a small box for a buck
some guys are mounting them from the bottom so just the bolt head shows.

romulus22 01-13-2010 06:40 PM
