Alan are the clear cross braces on bottom level a different material?  is there a reason for using clear?

I'll let Alan answer for his project, but I just used a piece of clear plastic on my own scratch build. It was the right thickness and type of plastic that I didn't have in Plastruct. Once I painted it, you wouldn't know it was a different material.

Coach, I did what George described. The clear beams were just a part of Plastruct materials that I acquired a number of years ago. I think the material is clear butyrate or abs. 

Carl,

You are correct,I will edit the main post whenever I post pictures in he future. 

Thank you all for you interest in this project. As I said, I am modifying my original construction to make it more interesting to construct.

Here are some updated photos from last night. More to follow later from today's work

Alan thanks for the updates with great photos

Here are pictures from work this morning. I finished most of the handrails and platforms. I also completed the counterweight and cable building. Next I will construct the crane and craneway.

looking better than I could have imagined

Alan, simply amazing work!

Dave

Terrific project update; thanks for the photos.

And many thanks for editing the thread's title.

Nice job Alan, thanks for the photo updates.  BTW, could you post a picture of  the harbor area  where these will sit?

Alan is building these for me.  I can not post a picture of the harbor area, because it does not exist yet.  It will be built around these incredible models.  I will start a thread once construction of that begins, but it will be a while before that starts.

Another beauty from Al! Boy! O'scale industrial stuff is huge!
