Haven't done much since my hospital discharge. I wasn't allowed to climb stairs for about 2 weeks but now I'm stronger so I can get to the layout in the basement. No heavy lifting or straining but I can do some lightweight work.
I clad my slab mill with corrugated cardboard for a ribbed siding effect. I used E-flute single faced corrugated that comes in 1X12 sheets and affixed them to the building with Scotch 77 spray adhesive. Don't know if the ribbing is scale but since this is a background building, 4 feet from the edge of the table, it won't matter. After cladding I hit it with matte acrylic spray to dull the finish and then I used red oxide weathering powder to age the siding. Made a couple of sliding doors from scratch polystyrene and painted them with acrylics also. I still need to make a few signs for the front and ends. The slab mill is 12X32x24 and sits next to the Electric Arc Furnace building that is 24X48X32 inches tall, my next cladding project but it's too heavy for me to lift. My son will have to pull it off the layout for me to work on.
Still need to place windows in it. I can get Korber Models windows from Mr. MUFFIN'S TRAINS , but they're on pre-order right now.
Hope you like it.
