Today I have finished another part from the DS. This was the first time I made a oval shape from paper. Here are some pictures.

Next I gone make the tubes at the side and bottom of the chamber. See the green area in the picture below.

The next step in this project took me a lot of time. Many of the same parts had to be cut, folded, rolled and glued. But the result is impressive. See for yourself.
