Did you cover how you did this earlier in this thread? I'm not finding it. Seriously? Heated fingers?

TN no I didn't cover earlier and yes I used my fingers but I didn't really heat my fingers, I just rubbed each part with my fingers to create sufficient heat to bend the part. Then I assembled all the bent pieces.
It sounds a lot harder than it actually is.
Thanks TN, Mike

Mike, great job. How do you know where to start? Besides having done this
before.

I was wondering how you were going to fill in that big huge area without making it look like... it was a big huge area that you had to fill in. It is coming together very nicely. Once you start getting into the details back in that area, let me know and I'll send you some Motrin for your back!

Joe , i really don't , I just wait until my brain overloads my wanting to work on it and POOF! I start working with an idea. The overpasses kind of dictated the area though.

Actually is is abot 2.5 feet and not too bad. I mount all the people to the sidewalks first and then set the buildings and they all are removable. The only thing back there now is some trees and grass.
Thanks , Mike

I am sorry , It is like that . After a while an idea comes to me and sometimes I visualize them in advance.
