Yeti build thread. Not in the wrong section.

A question that I was often asked during this build was "what are you going to do with it when it's finished?"

My honest answer was "probably put it in a box in the loft."

So, being really pleased with the way that the build was going, I thought that the box ought to be nice too...




9 layers of laser cut foam. Using the CAD artwork from the model, it was relatively easy to get a good fit with only minor tweaks here and there. The area around the handlebars needed a bit of extra space for the cables and hoses. The little turquoise knurled thumb nut will hold the front wheel in the lid.
The rectangular cut-out in the top left corner is for the new display stand.



The new display stand.
The rod fits into the bottom bracket axle on the non-drive side. Good job that it has Race Face cranks or there would be a crank bolt in the way.

That's all of the CAD artwork if anyone fancies making their own.

Bit of an anticlimax that eight years' work fits on one screen, and in one box.

Really enjoyed your thread. Some amazing technical skills on show.

Thanks 7Speed. I've enjoyed it too.
Got a load of finished photos from the weekend to sift through. Should hopefully be "opening the box" in the next day or two, but got a real work deadline so might be a bit later than that.

Amazing . Congratulations .
I would have to have done it the other way round , a huge model of something tiny and simple .
Mega.
