Progress:
This photo is almost exactly full size of the model, on my 10" X 13" computer screen.
The model is 4.25" X 2.5" the pilings stand 1" tall. The doors are scale 1" X 3" boards on frames built with scale 2 X 4's.
Ten of the Sixteen, compartment doors are built. I will leave the one door ( upper row, Second left ) open, and eventually have someone there getting a few lobster out for sale.
The hinges, and handles, were printed on card stock, cut out, and glued in place as each door was built. Six doors to go !, they to, will be closed. I'm still looking for the best "scale netting". the openings have to be small enough to prevent "Lobster escape"
, but large enough to be easily seen as netting.
If it is "out there", I will find it.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
