Miami River Layout

[fast car]

I have been working with curved wall structures that seem to blanket the Miami area and have started with a fairly small building that will be an Import/Export business. It will receive no rail traffic. The prototype is pink, but have decided to use some other color.

For this construction I used a .060 sheet plastic as the base material The curved area was done on the base using a a one gallon paint can to curve the front. Once the base section was cut and rounded, I glued the side wall sections to the base after the window areas were cut out.

The best way to obtain a curved sidewall is warm the sidewall sheet plastic in a kettle of boiling water. Once the sidewall becomes pliable, it can be removed from the water and easily curved to fit the rounded base section. The remaining straight sidewall sections are then added.

The recessed entrance will have double doors on the inside with security gates on the outside. Above the front entrance will be a curved overhang that will extend around the curved sidewall. The individual windows with have metal shades.
