Here is the building on location. I am working on adding a dock and possibly a roof to go over said dock along with quite a few details......

Here is how I braced it on the inside --

For the roof I used thin sheet stock with bracing -- it is quite sturdy without any flexing.

There is still quite a bit of detailing to be done like piping, ducts, fans etc. And then the all-important weathering over it all. First, I need to figure out how I am going to make the dock. Right now I am trying Durabond over card stock to give it the "cement" look. Once it is dry I'll upload some pics before and after sanding to see what y'all think.
