Kit Building / Re: FOS REA Building, kit bash and scratch build.

I set the warehouse to the side and glued the main REA structure walls together.

I used weights and metal squares to ensure the walls were square and held in place as the glue dried.

The gabled end wall was painted to match the other walls.

I also made a final floor test fit prior to staining the floor.

I also forgot to add an interior end wall. So that came next.



You can see in the next photo how the flooring runs across and not length wise.

The flooring wasn't wide enough for the span. I decided to have the flooring run across the warehouse instead of length wise.

I added several cross braces to support the warehouse flooring. Here is the first one, an 8X8.



Here is how the flooring will look.

Just wanted to say HI and see how much "Diet Pepsi" was required for such a project.  Doing well here but just buried in household projects these days.  As always, your model and progress are outstanding!

Cousin Brucie,

Good to see you my friend. It has required a lot of Diet Pepsi to get this far. As you know, Diet Pepsi is my life's blood on any build.

I'll give you a call in the next few days.

Terry,

I guess I was complaining but it does require much time to post a detailed thread.

Thank you for the comment and for following along.

Quote from: ReadingBob on March 18, 2024, 07:23:36 AMLooking good Tom!  Of course, I've had the pleasure of seeing this one in person.  It's going to be a real eye catcher in when it's finished and in its new home.
Bob,

Thank you, very much appreciated.

Morning all and all drifters,

As Terry said, "It's raining here this morning." 100% all day and most of tomorrow. Puts a damper on my yard work.

I'll just suck it up and play, err, I mean work in the A&S RR office today.

I'll update the FOS REA build later this afternoon.

Have a safe and healthy day ya'll.

Morning all,

Nothing special going on here. I have bowling at noon and then a late lunch with friends.

Have a safe and healthy day everyone.
