Looking good, John.

This is going to be one heavy diorama to lift into position when finished!

Cheers, Mark.

I made the castings out of resin so it is not as bad as hydrocal. We will see - maybe a two person job. ;)

Tonight, the first walls are up and glued in place on the Brick Roundhouse.  This is the left wall and first stall back wall of the 11 stall portion of the Roundhouse.  Also, the base for the four stall section of the Roundhouse is in the paint booth. The track has also been glued in place for the first stall.  I wanted to get one wall up before I install the rest of the track so I can get started on the jig for the interior beams. I have a lot of strip wood to cut. ;)

Thank you, It is nice to see it start coming together. I'm a firm believer in you can never have enough weights. Clamps are the same way.  I don't think a week goes by that I don't go to the shelf and they are all out on projects.

This is a project where a construction jig to hold the walls up might be worth the time.  As I get older, I spent more time building jigs :-)

I'm with you on building jigs.  I will be building a gluing jig for the interior beams.  The workbench that this model is sitting on is a big adjustable jig with T-slots.  I will be using it to hold the back walls.  I started by using all the weights and squares to make sure that the corner was right.  It sets up everything else.
