Last post by ACL1504 - February 18, 2026, 03:11:10 PMIf you glue wall "C" in place, wall "D" won't fit correctly on the front of the base.
Wall "C" is 1/16" too long. I know this as I test fitted the walls around the base.
The next photo shows how long wall "C" is. It is as long as the wall is thick.
You may think that you can leave wall "C" as is and added wall "D" to the front. If you do this, you have a serious issue with lining up the other wall "E".

Last post by ACL1504 - February 18, 2026, 02:59:57 PMThere is a diagram of how the walls fit together around the outside edges of the floor base.
In the diagram shown below, note that wall "C" fits between walls "B" & "D".

Last post by ACL1504 - February 18, 2026, 02:56:21 PMThere is a checker board flooring paper that is to be glued to the base.
Once the flooring is glued to the base, Dario suggests taking an Xacto knife and trimming the excess flooring from the base.
Then the walls are to be glued in place on the base. As I mentioned, I've read through the instructions and planned in my mind how I want to proceed with the build.
This particular step will be skipped by me until later in the build. I'll explain my reasoning as I get into the build.

The PO is looking great. I also agree, a light coat of A&I will bring out more details against the white.

Nice work on the engine and boiler. Neat detail with the coal and shovel.

Thanks for the well wishes.
Slice and dice went well. In an out in less than an hour. 12 sutures in all and I'm at the "puter" and bench.
