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)
The raw materials
Attaching the one end wall
The other end wall
The front wall
Both doorways are cut out
What a difference a coat of paint makes
The next step is the making of the cargo doorways
The materials required
Each weather diaphram consists of 30 parts
Door assembly
The completed doorway
Some of the accessories
A refrigeration unit ( a Walthers roof top A/C)
The security fence (from a Kibri fence kit)
and finally the sign
Now for some more progress shots
With the backdrop in place
Preparing the base for scenicing
The finished project
Some detail shots (taken with my new camera ---- brag, brag)
Cheers,Simon
