Retaining the Drawers

For quite a while I had been struggling to come up with a way to ensure the drawers would not fall out if the model was manipulated. My initial idea was to add a lip in the front of the drawer chassis which the drawer top back end would catch. While this did prove to work initially I noticed the drawers would droop down considerably. Not satisfied with the technique being used I decided to switch to using hooks and fishing lines. The tricky part of this method was to make sure each drawer would not extend more than the others... On several occasions, I had to redo the drawer lines but in the end it proved to work really well. As an added bonus I was able to make the carousel open only halfway like the real one.
