I thought i'd share my latest pics of what i've been up to.. Thanks to Shambala festival for helping me to realise it.

The new mid and top cabs, on top of a terrahorn:






Closeup of the mids and tops:



The mid cab fits inside the terrahorn cutout, for transportation. (excuse the dirty abused terrahorns)





Front view:



Rear view, (note i didn't have time to make the rear access hatches, and it's all a bit dirty from being rained on through a leaky talc covered parachute!)

I quite like the curvy tesselation:



In its natural habitat:







Really nice panorama of the main woodland setup at Shambala:



Looking out from the soundsystem:



I've put a bit more info of the whole experience and some technical aspects of the cabs on a blog:

*Edit: added pics of mid in terra cutout.

that is some proper awesome cabinet building skills gone into that, looks beautiful!!

can imagine van packing that and keeping it secure is a bit of a nightmare though?

Whens it coming southwest then?

cheers guys Smile

If you had seen my van on the way there... trust me, there wasn't an inch of space left, everything properly wedged in Ying Yang, saying that though, it's only the tops that have to be carefully packed as the mids fit in the terrahorns..

Cheers Mykey, i'm realy pleased i managed to pull it all off and get them done in the end.. i would iron out a few things if/when i make some more, as you probably well know, sometimes you just have to make a load and see how they physically work together.. then i just need to think about the final touches and rigging points/system as i used ratchets through the handles for shambala to pull em all together..

will take a photo now of mid in cutout.. *edit oops, no i won't girlfriend took her camera to a hen night, hopefully tomorrow..

They kinda hook there, as the curves 'mate' each other, but when ratcheted through each other, and being a trapezoid wedge with a front hook they hold position, but i did ratchet them either end to the mids, and the mids to the terra's for munter safety.
