got 3/4" thick mdf from home depot and they cut them in size for free..
but i needed something different..
used jigsaw to cut rest of part and so..
weather gets nicer and finally took some pic of bulding it..
this is original rough idea..but actual structure will look different..due to mis-calculate..
only if i had right tool and space to work on, this could be done tons better..not ghetto way..

Looks good for the "ghetto way"!
I don't think I could build anything that looks that good on my best day.

actually it is not that secret..
it is mixture of resin and body filler..
but the secret is ratio to mix, when to apply..
