Centre Foot - Mark 2.7

Went to B&Q the weekend and bought some more grey primer and satin white top coat spray. Also picked up an 80mm swivel caster for the centre foot. Total =£24.
Did some more milling of the foot lip to make room for the wheel's turning circle.

Filled angles onto the edges of the front and rear aluminium strips and also the groove channel strip, to match up.

Glued top piece of foot shell in place, with P40 resin.

Applied wood filler to foot lip side faces, picture below. Have since sanded it smooth, ready for more filler.

Drilled four holes through wheel board, for securing centre foot wheel, using nylock nuts & bolts. These will be stronger than screws into the wood.
As you can see in the above picture,
I had to mill off some of the angles base for clearance for the washers
Have now sprayed [with two coats] up the side curved detail panels in white :)
In this picture I have sprayed the curved panel detail white and with a coat of clear spray, also painted the screws using Humbrol gloss No.22 paint.
