Finally got some good painting weather for the longer pieces. Found some 1/4i square channel in my stock and figured out how to make the inner structure connections all pretty and square. Also used real wood cross-pieces, just like a lot of parts on the original.

Got all but the lower left light tube done. Ran out of small tubing, but got most of the right side and front tubes on. Will wrap up the last light tube and couple of missing smaller tubes this week, and then time to (finally) buy some more MDF for the top and start the port.

And all the light tube bulbs can actually be changed if they burn out (which took most of the time on this phase)...
