Great progress Tom. Everything looks outstanding.

I thank you my friend for the comment and stopping by.

Here are all the sidewalk pieces.



Since they are all cut with a laser, the edges are just to sharp. I used a sanding board and took some of the stark 90 degree angle off.



I think after I scribe the curb and expansion lines, they will look just fine.

The next photo shows the walls for the third building, the showroom and supporting area.



Over the past few days I added the wall bracing.



Done for today.

Tom nice job.

Taking some time to run through the build threads to catch up.

Some real nice modeling there Tom. Always get a kick out of seeing a bubble level in use when you build something. Talk about level headedness.

I started gluing the walls together on the show room building. I also made sure they were perfectly square and at 90 degrees while gluing and afterwards.

[ACL1504]

The small portion of this section had another small wall. I glued it once the other two were dry.

[ACL1504]

While the walls were being glued, I turned my attention to the location where Horwood Bros will be located.

I drew a grid which helped locate where the structure would go in relation to the sidewalks and road.

I started in the lower left corner of the site. This is where the corner sidewalks are located.
