What program did you use to post the photos?

Is that squadron? Avoid that stuff it shrinks and cracks. You should get your styrene joints as tight as possible. It looks like you have square backer rod in there so if you were to sand through the sheet to get the rounded corner look you want you would be exposing/shaping the rod behind. Interesting use of whatever building kit the support is, but you might just make that out of styrene too, it comes in a lot of profile shapes.

Thanks i used photobucket to post them.. and yes thats squadron ive never used body filler before so when i run out or make another order ill get something else.. The support kit is made from k'nex i had them laying around and there is no LHS around so i have to order everything so i didnt really want to wait on anymore styrene

Finished painting and was able to get it all put together.... not super happy with how it came out but its alot better than my last tool box so maybe after i make another 10-15 ill have something worth looking at haha here are some pics....
