Cold and rainy day here in New Hampshire, kids are both in school Mrs out shopping what would you do. I boiled the pot, made some tea crabbed a box of Digestive Bisquits, put a beer in the fridge for later, turned on Pink Floyd and shut myself in the train room.
My main focus was on the Modern Industrial Building kit, with fits of cutting out some more windows on the Small Terreced Houses.
So here we are at 830 this morning; piles of walls, roofs and frames. The grey frame is one of four to go inside the industrial building and the blue walls go to this kit too, all of the other pices go to the asembly line that is the terraced housing and shops.
Here is a wall and frame holding each other up, ive decided i am going to make the crane so you can seen one of the column front for the crane here (the yellow bit)
It was taking me about 30 minutes per frame, so here we are two hours later. One side of the frames have been glued and the back wall is resting in place. I needed to feel like something was being accomplished at this point so had a good look at how this was coming together while sipping tea and eating a snack.
After a breather we attacked the front and side wall by installing two doors and a loading dock.
Then the lower and upper wall corner pieces were added and the wall capping layer added. A base layer was then added to bring the whole thing up to road level. Once this was done some temporary scenic material in the form of fencing and ground scatter was added to see what it would look like when beded in. This will need to be redone at a later point.; at this point im happy with how its going and am itching to finish.
Still need to finish off the office that goes inside, the internal grane and the roof. Now to go and find that beer.
