Hi fellas,
Here are some pics of a project that I've just recently finished. It's a low relief building that Is a Cold Storage Distribution Centre and will provide a destination for my Cryogenic and mechanical reefer cars. What follows is a photograp[hic presentation of the project. Basically the structure consists of a balsawod core with Plastruc corrigated styrene sheeting glued onto the balsawood. The white edgings are Evergreen styrene angle strips. I almost forgot, the model is built in HO scale (3.5mm/ft --- 1/87th scale)
