"Voyager" Etched brass German tool boxes.
The white strip is for the handles, and the steel is exactly that, and SO hard to cut to the lengths required, as they can't be found once lost as they fly off when cut. 🙁
The pivot arms are delicate and easily misplaced, so a pair if needle tweezers is the best for positioning them where and when required.
With just the top flap open is one 'pose', but as you will see, there are many other things possible. Just take your time and be careful.
With some 'nail clippers', it is possible to trim even more off the pins that stick out too far. 🙂
One thing is, the boxes can, with some great care, be opened and closed too, If you need to have them in various positions to suite the scene. 🙂
The tools really 'finish' these kits, as these can be reshaped for an "off set" ring at one end of the spanners.
The first tool box took me well over 3 hours to complete, but as I became more comfotrable with the sequence and technique, each one then only took about an hour.
In all honesty. Worth every second of your time, and so much fun, once you work out the technique. 🙂

These delightful kits are well worth the time and effort to make, as they provide a sense of reality to a scene, be it a diorama of troops in the field fixing a tank, or in a workshop scene, that just cant be replicated by plastic. Be it American, Japanese or any workshop scene, all mechanics had one tool box, and 99% of them all looked the same.
