I am going to show Jarl how to make a hatch for his LRBT.



This is the plasticard that I use.



1. Measure the space you need to cover; 2. Draw the outline of your piece on the plasticard




3. Cut it out by scoring with an x-acto knife and then folding the plasticard til it snaps



4. Measure out where your hinge needs to be, make a mark on the hatch



5. Cut a thin strip of plasticard for the hinge; 6. Cut out the little squares




7. Glue the little squares to the side of the hatch, on edge



8. Cut another, longer strip from the thin piece, then cut that piece in half, lengthwise (sorry, couldn't get this to focus, but you get the idea)




9. Glue them on the hatch, edge-wise, for the handles




Voila! You can cut off the corners and even sand them round of you really want it to match up with the others
