Mike, you could put the grandchildren to work. Kids love demolition! LOL
Strap Hanger, an under construction ramp makes a lot of sense for that scene. That crane will handle the job!
I have been slowly putting coats of different colored paint on the parts for my Atlas switch tower. I needed three coats of gray craft paint to cover the tan clapboard siding to make it look like a Western Maryland building. I have two coats of a sort of maroon on the brown trim, Windows, doors, etc. The brown plastic still pokes through a bit, but I may leave it. I’ll post photographs once there is more to see. It is slow going since I can’t sit very long 4 weeks after surgery. Yes Mike, I am taking it slow and easy. 😉
