Scalescenes New Modern Factory/Warehouse Kit-Bash Build
#10
Last post for the first build:
To cover the edges of the two sheets of thick cardboard Scalescenes provide these edge caps (Steps 20 & 21).
   

This is one of the nice detail parts on the inside of the building, what Scalescenes call the Door tops (Steps 23 to 25) and which represents the cowling that goes over the roller door mechanism and the roller door when it is rolled up. After having made up one according to the instructions you could then measure the overall dimensions of the roller door hood and make some out of styrene or wood, which might be a bit easier. I also fitted the actual doors according to the instructions, with one door completely closed and the other almost completely open.
   
   
At this point I got a bit frustrated with the mistakes I had already made, e.g. the arrangements of the overlaps on the major wall sections, plus ragged edges on the door and a few other things. So I decided to start over again using the experience gained in terms of both the overall building structure and the various aspects of the kit.
The first new building will simply be a three rail door structure with no inside details except for perhaps the area immediately surrounding any open doors. After that I plan to build a version that will be on the front (Viewing) edge of the switching module and will most likely have an internal siding with a capacity of two fifty foot cars and an external platform for the third car spot. This will feature the internal detailing.
