Good evening ladies and gentlemen!
It seems like many people put up pictures on their new 1/16 accessories so I guess I do the same. This is the first shutter of four to my Sightseeing dio.

Any comments are welcome!

EDIT: Do you think there are to many and tight between the horizontal pieces?

Looks real good. If you don't mind me asking, what tools did you use?

Gday Andreas
(No more Sverige from me ok? )
They look fantastic! You have a keen eye for accuracy... As to your concerns, they look spot-on in my opinion... So long as the remaining 3 are of the same quality, you are on your way to a great scene
Cheers

John, A picture is said to say more than thousand words so here is my tools...

The block to the right is a sanding block with four different courses (right word?), and was sold as a nail polisher thing. :-)
The raw material is 1mm and 0,75mm Sheet Styrene.

Brad, I hoped to hear more Swedish from you... The second got actually as good as this one, but the last two will be of a little easier kind... Thanks for your encouragement mate!

Claud, Thanks for your kind words!

Nice shutter.
If you are trying to create a privacy shutter the slats are fine. If you are going for a shutter that you can 'adjust' to let more or less light in, then IMHO the slats are too thick.

Steve, I'm glad you like it! But more will come, I will soon start on a 1/16 bike... I have no idea if it will work...

Kevin, I'm sure you are able to, I've been very impressed of all works I have seen from you!
