Building the Frame

Built the frame using 1x2" & 1/2" plywood on the bottom. I used Luan sheets for the skin. Using Quikrete quick form tubes make great round edges!

Cut Openings

I applied Bondo to fill in the round surfaces flush with the straight surfaces then sanded it.

Added Lights

I added an internal 110v receptacle, a dimmer, and four standard light sockets for the flash. I used 4 1300 lumen LED flood lights for the flash.

Painting

I used a metallic brown for the top. I used painter's tape to separate the different colors used on the top.d
