Test fit: I'm calling the mechanism work good enough, especially since the roof cloth will be covering a lot of it!
Now to paint, and fold in the roof!

Thanks, but just like DIY renovations around the house, I know how much better it could be!
I ended up having to use wire pins instead of the too delicate resin rivets. And I realized that brass grows... got longer as I bent and shaped it!
