Octagon Port 2.0 version in wood


As R5's build has gone on, my ability to understand how best to make things ot of wood has improved......slightly, lol. My first attempt at making his Octagon Ports out of metal were ok, but I wasn't 100% happy with it, so I didn't make up the second one.
First Octagon Port, but not happy with side panel bends etc.
 
I have now decided that I'm going to make them out of wood, hardboard. This should be easier to build and assemble & neater looking then the metal version. I will be keeping and using the two aluminium centre pieces I made.
And here it is, test fitted in place...... nope, still not happy with how this looks.
So will start on version 2.1 tomorrow :)
