Having been presented with a day off work due to the celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday and being rather fired up over my APA box layout concept. I devoted my day off to some serious construction work. Principally the structures.

The first one to be worked on was the small low relief at left rear. It was already well on the way to being finished and some plastruct stone cladding, a Pikesfuff door and a scratchbuilt fire escape (which might just get re-made) coupled with some kind of a/c unit on the roof courtesy of Walthers modular bits and pieces and it's ready for a visit to the paint shop

Hopefully to end up looking something like this:

Next up is the building front left. This is the one that I plan to cut away and have an interior for people to view. I already have in my possession a Pikestuff kit that I had made rather unremarkably so I dismantled it and re-assembled it around a .5mm styrene shell. A loading door was also cut into the shell and the Pikestuff wall sections were fitted around it.

The interior to this point has a loading dock and flight of steps in place. Roof beams and some sort of supporting steelwork is also likely as well as a rollled up door. Perhaps a truck pulled up to the loading dock as well. I don't know just yet.

This view of the outside shows the patchwork of previously painted, primed and unpainted sections that have been used to make up the shell. I doubt that much detail will go on this wall as no-one will be able to see it.

I'm thinking there's a good six hours work invested in these structures today and while glues have been setting on these projects I've also been messing around with the major low relief structure rear right.

But that's a story for another posting.
