After the 'great lift' it was time to start fixing some of the balustrades, refuges and pavilions back onto the viaduct deck.
Here are some shots from today of the two boards that we will be showing, about 40% of the total. Lengths of 7mm wide stripwood were temporarily glued with Copydex along the edge of the deck to allow the balustrades to be set at the right distance in from the edge; a simple jig was then used to set them in the right place with respect to the refuge outriggers. The refuges were then added after the alignment strip was removed.
The end balustrades and pavilions are just Copydexed for the time being because the pavilions may need to be removed for final painting.
The buttresses supporting the pavilions have also been extended outwards from their original too shallow construction.
Quite a bit needs to be done in the next three weeks on further detailing and scenics - we should then be back to near where we were at Scaleforum but in a more finalised condition.
