Working on the frame. I decided to make all of the small cutouts even though they are not needed. It will decrease the weight of the finished model, and with all of metal decorations, this model will be quite heavy. The process of making all of these cuts will take considerable time.
I made a little milling machine by mounting my Dremel to the stand and attaching a milling bit. It cuts quickly and accurately. I just drill a starter hole in each area to be cut out.
