Hi Dave.

I used by razor saw to cut the cuts at 90 degrees to the edge and then scored and snapped the parallel cuts.

Cheers, Mark.

Mark, thanks.  I was wondering if you tried one of those plastic nibbler tools.

Hi guys.

Photo 1 - So when I went to add the front wall to the jut out I discovered a problem!  The front wall was considerably taller than the two side walls.  The only thing I can think of is that I made up a smaller vent to start with and decided it looked too narrow so then made up a taller one.  I must have used the wrong one when measuring.  Anyway - it has to be fixed.


Photo 2 - After measuring again (!!!) I marked and cut the side wall down.


Photo 3 - I used my razor saw to cut off the bracing pieces.


Photo 4 - I measured and marked the styrene base and then cut the extra off.


Photo 5 - You can see I added a new piece of bracing to the inside of the second side wall before removing the original piece.


Photo 6 - I cut the second side wall to size and then added a new piece of 6x6 to the corner.


More soon, cheers, Mark.

Continuing...

Photo 7 - Here is the shortened protrusion.  I actually like the dimensions of this better.


Photo 8 - From the other corner.


Photo 9- Mocked up with all the vents, doors and windows in place, tilted because they kept falling out.


Next up will be to tackle the aerial walkover/ conveyor hallway and tower.

More soon, cheers, Mark.
