Hi all,

Here are some more snaps of my progress with the point operation. I've tried a dowel and pin into a block method as that was using materials I had to hand. I am very pleased with the results and the 'feel' is good, not too tight/stiff. Too much effort would have been a bit much for the pin over time I feel.

Here is the effort to transfer the motion through 90 degrees:

And here are the more straight forward points at the end of the platforms. Notice the block into which I drilled for the pin. These three at the front go into the front joist to support them fully and to minimise the potential 'bounce' of the dowel:

I've also made a start covering the platform surface with card. I'm using 'tarmac' sheet and plain card - basically all I had! It looks a bit patchwork quilt but will be covered. You can see the downloaded scalescenes paving on the left hand platform has been partially laid:

up close - I'm not 100% sure about the glued strip against the white edging?:

Cheers,

James
