<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 10244499, member: 4654"]I will, it needs a lot of attention, the front slope flap has been glued poorly so it will need to be dismantled, fingers crossed it was done with hide glue. The hinges have been changed, I need to find another slope of the right age that's in poor condition so it doesn't cost a lot (I've tried making hinges and I failed lol) The whole insides and the top slope is missing and it's never been cleaned. I don't know if I want to try and replace the missing insides, it would have had carved lids to the compartments and I'll never be able to find replacements but I am going to find the right hinges, clean and re-glue the front slope. The 2 raised carved panels have undercut carving ie holes underneath and behind the figures it's so deeply carved, I'll try and get photos to explain better lol. If I don't re-do the inside I don't think it will bother me as the carving is what the box is all about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
