Thanks Mark!
Bought some more bridal tulle today to make the chain link construction fence around the rick house site. It's the CHEAPEST HOBBY PURCHASE EVER! 19 cents for a 54" X 4" piece enough for that fence and more. The fence will be a scale 8 foot (2"), so I should be able to get 108" running inches of fencing or thereabouts.
I built the access steps. My idea to use Evergreen for a new railing didn't work out as I would have liked so I trimmed the Plastruct railing and added a small piece of Evergreen to finish it off. My solvent cement (MEK) was not fusing the styrene to Plastruct's ABS as it should. I used med CA to glue the styrene strip to the ABS to finish the rail. I mounted the steps on some larger Plastruct ABS Channel. I will spray it metallic next week.
I started and almost finished adding the elevator shaft bracing. The first part didn't come out so square, the rest are okay. I was using a combination of med CA and Bondic UV to hold it. Aleen's just isn't good when the pieces have the ability to move all over the place. The Bondic freezes them in position in five seconds and I follow up with CA and accelerator.
This next shot shows just what's left in the flooring department to finish it up.
And then I took a picture just because I wanted to. The front is still not attached to either the framing or the loading dock.
The is an overhanging roof protecting the loading dock. I can't decide if I want to add it. It will look cool, but it will hide a lot of the stair well stuff inside. Thoughts?
Boy! That's a lot of lumber!
