Howdy Mark,

The build is progressing well.  Nice work on cutting the different components.  The louvers are exceptional.

Have fun,
mike
My current builds are a Post Office. and miscellaneous rolling stock

QuoteTake a thin point permanent (black) marker and run it along the undersides of the scribes.  That adds shadow, and makes it look more like a vent.

Thanks for the tip, Dave.

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks, Mike.

I was finding them rather fiddly to build so I though I'd give my ptastistruct glue that I found on the shelf a go.  It just melted the plastic and quickly ruined my next louver, so back to fiddly and medium CA!

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks, Michael.

It's been fun designing this scene.  I was back working on the trackbed surrounding the diorama today.  I should be back working on the structures this Sunday.

Cheers, Mark.

I always take big bites.  I just have to find time to chew for long enough!

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks, Greg.

I'm looking forward to working on the scratchbuilt section.  I also have some scratchbuilding in the form of aerial walkovers and the large stack that will be fun.

Cheers, Mark.
