Looking good Max! I guess I need to get my eyes checked, I did't kow it was corrugated panels.
Thanks, Mike. It's just photographs done on a laser printer.
Very cool, and well done!
A little more progress. Windows, down pipes, roller door and waste pipe.
I'm not that happy with the back wall. I think that the patches are too big.
Easily remedied. I'll make some smaller ones and skew them a bit.
Cheers
I use painters tape and blackish acrylic paint for asphalt roll roofing. Then can a piece of painted tape to look like a patch painted a bit blacker as to look a bit newer.

Max I think it looks great, I see you still have the inspector on site. I would keep an eye on him, he might try to get the boat inside!
Thanks, Mike.
It's actually his boat. They are taking a long time to finish it.

Sounds good, Dick.
Any chance of a photo?
One more WOW!!!!
Better and better, Max!

Thanks, JP.
I think I have wrung every bit of interest from this building.
Peter Jackson MMR built the Agelis, so I thought that he deserved a mention.
Now to start colouring in the environs.
Great job Max.
Looks great Max! thank for taking us on this adventure!
Masterful. Mr. Jackson should be very happy.
Max,
This is likely my favourite building of the shunting layout. (So far anyway :-) It has such character. The wall with the six windows is almost more interesting given their individual variety than the side with the "action". I looked at the last photo you posted of the original. It's a great interpretation of a challenging prototype. I can almost hear the waves lapping and smell that salt air. Ralph must be on a well-deserved break.

Thanks, All.
Ralph is inside having a beer with Peter and the guys, TR.
Super skills from Port Elderly on display as usual!
Thanks, Joe.
Pat at P&D Hobbies patiently collected many Plastruct kits of office furniture for me.
It took him a while to get them all together, but here they are . . .
A few shots from above with the roof off, so you can see the floor layout - around the rafters.
Now a vain attempt to see through the venetian blinds.
Hmmm.
Looks great Max, you had me confused at first cause I seen the truck in the background. Then I got it, the top floor comes off! Again great work!
Thanks, Mike.
A harbor master and some emergency responders are all it needs. It came out really well. I really like the design and your execution is top notch!
Thanks, Joe.
I've had people looking for office workers for me. Arttista etc., etc. No Luck so far.
The best I could find are a set of people sitting at the bus stop.
Bachmann make the emergency responders in sets, I think.
Last shot is awesome! can't you turn the blinds slats in another position to see through? It's a shame!
This building is fantastic, Max! great work!

Thanks, JP.
Turn the blinds?
Here's one of Marty's Scale City Designs 17" lampshades.
Painted and with a surface mount LED installed.
Try this . . .
The Helicon missed a blurry patch on the cable, but the fence is OK.
I've rebuilt the hand gate with smaller diameter brass.
And I've changed to f 22 to give Helicon an even break.
Fences should take at least 2 days, you have to dig the holes, set the posts, pour the concrete and wait for it to set up over night before you can install the fence!
I think it turned out very nice, for only 2 days!
You're right, RTR. What was I thinking?
Thank you.
Max,
i love the latest building. The details are great.
alan graziano
Thanks, Alan.
Fine details everywhere! it's fantastic, Max!
Thanks, JP.
I'm my most severe critic.
For example, the pipe I made the hand gate from is over scale, so my next fence will have a gate made from thinner tubing. If that comes out OK, I'll pull the hand gate out and make another one.
Gotta make the fence first.
Tubing size aside, Max, your attention to detail right down to the sharp row on the top of the fence is great. I'm particularly fond of that glimpse of a corrugated garage door that your last photo shows, as well as the door next to it.
It's so inviting, I can almost imagine wandering around inside to see the many boats being built. But alas, I'd likely be on the other side of that fearsome fence :-).

Just didn't want you to feel like you were slacking, fencing really is hard work!!
Thanks, TR. If you're ever in South Oz, you will be welcome inside.
Thanks RTR

Thanks, Max! I'll even treat you and Ralph to a pint. A very tiny one mind you ... :-}
