Reply to "Need help with roundhouse doors"

Hey Bill. Thanks for the pics. You did a good job knowing what you had to work with. As said before, those older Korber RH kits are a bear to assemble. Nothing fits quite right. I said it is like a scratch build using the supplied material. Plus having almost every plastic piece warped out of the box does not help either. Your doors look good and I also had the same  issues with breaking hinges.

When I got mine finished....I had areas like you have that are just frustrating. You could use a little camouflage like green bushes or ground cover to hide some of the obvious gaps. Will the back of the RH be visible? I was lucky, mine was not so the imperfections never got seen. I also used some Squadron Green putty to fill in between the wall sections where the gap was noticeable.

I understand the frustration in getting the stall tracks to line up on a tangent line with the TT. It take a little math to determine the position of the RR in relation to the TT. I forget. I do not remember the angle of degrees each stall is located from either the outside wall or the centerline of an adjacent stall.

Maybe I missed it but who supplied your TT? Sometimes the manufacturer has information available for placement of the RH in relation to the TT. Maybe use a straight edge and line up the TT with the first stall of the RH. Keep moving the RH back and forth in line with the straight edge until you have a straight line from the center of the TT bridge thru the center of the RH door and then thru the stall. You may be surprised how much you need to move the RH away from the TT in achieve a straight line. After the first stall is in alignment, the other two should line up the same way with no additional work.

Anyway, good luck with whatever decision you decide. You cannot beat the "wow factor" with a RH..

Take care.
