With those vertical columns on the end walls it would be very easy to reduce the width of the block if needed.

Cheers, Mark.


Mark, Cheers,

Very interesting observation my friend. That is one reason I haven't glued the walls together on this one. It seems we are thinking along the same lines. However, the side walls have the brick details as the rear wall is glued to the insides of the two side walls.

I was thinking I could cover or partially cover this with a rear downspout and scupper.

You could also make two cuts and splice the two ends together, thus keeping the brickwork on the end.  If you make both cuts the same side of a column, the join should be invisible.  But yes, there are many ways to hide the join - just study George Sellio's work for ideas on how to do this.

Cheers, Mark.

Mark, Cheers,

Yes, that is an ideal but I think for times sake, I can hide the end with a downspout or weeds. Actually, I'm not even sure the ends will show all that much detail.

Brother T,

They are in the small frig under the coaling tower. Help yourself.

 Tom, like the tip of taking the resin walls and let them cook in the sun to make them flat. Hope you can add a Pepsi sign to the model...Tommy
