Worked on the shed for the plastic model plus the conveyor house base.

Tops were glued to the silos and every thing sanded. There are 6 silos for each elevator.

The shed after lamination. it is hard to see however the roof is Plastic corrugated siding and the walls are clapboard.

This is the base for the conveyor. It is SSS-108 white styrene sheet laminated with PS-24 diamond plate. HR-8 handrails were glued on and H-8 columns were glued under neath to stop the styrene sheet from warping. A general issue when laminating styrene or even ABS on one side only is that down the road the styrene will warp. Adding handrails won't eliminate the problem. Only reinforcement underneath solves the issue. If I was to flue the base to the silos then I would not need to worry however the base will be free standing.
