Well, I am back now and you have all been very busy. Had a nice pint with Tony and Martin. I have a question about the welder...he seems a bit thin...does he have "a set à lean" legs???Get it? Acetylene?
Seriously nice work Martin.

Well its been a long time but back on the workshop again.
Started to make the crane and control box to fit between the main girders. The top and sides will have wood top and sides.

Crane tested in place and some colour on the wood tops and the crane section. Now for some food, that for me not the model.

Very well constructed MSea.  Tell me, do you have one of those gadgets I read about the other day (wait, I'll look it up) NWSL Chopper?  Kind of a guillotine with various inserts for cutting angles - the plastic  modellers version of a mitre saw I suppose.  They looked quite good for the scratchbuilder.  Just wondered how you get it all so neat and accurate?

Sorry Wizzel NO gadgets, just chop it with saw or knife and clean up the ends.

Just found some photos that I thought I had lost.
The walls with the windows and how the walls fitted for strength to the base. Before Wizzel asks the slots made with a plough plane and then a very very very sharp chisel.

the rest of the photos.
The walls have been covered with filler after the plastic edge applied. The sign has been made from 3 levels of acrylic to give them a 3D effect

He won't tell you this but being an engineer, he probably uses a hammer, chisel and his teeth (you just bite it off in the right place and spit the bit out you don't want, simples).
