I guess when I get the chance, I'll start a thread too. Found the 1" aluminum tubing at Lowe's. Good call...it was just over $11 for a 3' section.
I'll be in touch!

It's not all clean, Dave. See that tear in the styrene in the last pic...hehe! I got over anxious when I was popping it out of the sheet!
Cool about the tubing! I was under the impression that they only sold it in 8-foot lengths. I'll also be making a Lowes visit this weekend. I was going to go with round styrene for the mandible lighting tubes but if I find a good substitute at Lowes, I'll do that.
Right now, I need to think about all the maintenance holes around the ship. I'm trying to figure out if I need to build those first. The mandible holes will definitely be attached before the top and bottom plates come together but I still need to get the proper circumference and depth first.
