NW 58th St., Miami

After this short excursion into box-making, I turned to some "serious" modeling again. That means I cut off the last segment of the structure that I showed you on page 15 of this thread. I added a sidewall to this segment and fixed it to my layout at he end of the lot with the trailers. The other, much bigger part of the structure was fixed to the extension, so that the two parts of this warehouse line up automtically when I plug in the extension.



The seam between these two parts is almost invisible ... and to make absolutely sure, I don’t show you a close-up



Now with the wall at the end of the lot in place, I could go on detailing the lot. I still have to finish the gate and to weather the containers, but apart from that, the lot is done.



While wandering with Google’s street view through the Miami East Rail district, I found a company that rents out old trailers. I "borrowed" the sign I found on their trailers and put it on the fence. The sign is a simple screenshot from the street view that I resized in Photoshop and printed out. Before cutting it out, I glued thin aluminum foil to the back of the printout, so that it looks like a metal sign if you see the backside through the chainlink fence. Maybe I patch one or even both trailers and put that sign on them, too.
