Horwood Brothers Gas, Oil and Service - Rail Scale Miniatures.

[ACL1504]

When bracing the service bay building (middle structure), the bracing crosses four doors.

The bracing doesn't affect the doors fitting in the the openings but, I still wanted to remove the bracing from the door openings.

I cut a brace to fit, placed it on the rear and then marked where the bracing crossed the opening.

Yeah, I've had to trim mis-placed bracing a few times, including on the farmhouse.  You're making good progress.  Good luck at the Dr this afternoon!

Dave,

Yea, "snit happens" and I appreciate the well wishes. All will be fine and I'll have my laptop in bed this afternoon.

I removed the brace and used a single edge razor blade to cut down vertically to the horizontal mark.

I then used a #17 Xacto blade and removed the horizontal portion of the marked area.



The brace is now ready to be glued in place.

The brace was then glued in place per the diagram template.



Done for this week, see ya'll on Saturday or Sunday.

I don't believe I've ever built a kit where I didn't have to remove some of the bracing, usually due to my error.  You're making great progress.  Good luck with the surgery/recovery.

Tom,

Some more great progress on the build.  Like Jeff I've had to remove/modify bracing I've installed, also mostly due to my error.

[Jerry]

Tom good luck with the surgery today.

Anyone else would have left that alone but you being the precise builder that you are fixed it.  Nice job.
