The base was painted and once in place, it was weighted with over 300 lbs. of sand.
The platform was covered with linen. This shows the underside with the bracing used to make it strong.
This view shows the platform covered in linen.
A humidity gauge was recessed into the platform. It can be removed at any time and replaced if necessary.

After removing the protective wrapping from the cover, the inside is cleaned using an air compressor.
The acrylic cover was wrapped in a brown protective paper that needed to be removed before attaching the box to the case.
