Great work Reinhard!
BTW, I know what you are talking about with pencil marks and white paint, you might as well be throwing spaghetti sauce on it and then trying to go over it with white! I am curious to see if anyone knows how to get around that as well
Gary, Those joists are a detail that is often over looked, mostly because most model structures are closed and you cant see inside them. Nearly every modern warehouse I have been in has those joist in the ceiling supporting the roofs. Must like Reinhard here, im going to make some of my structures on my La Mirada Project open from the backside, and I absolutely love your idea of adding the joists. It looks complicated, and they might take a long time to make, but i think there doable and would just be a time killer to make enough of them for a long skinny structure. Im sure they wouldnt be that hard to make out of evergreen or plastruct styrene stock, ill give it a shot when i finish pouring the molds for the first structure im making
