A Cool Project

[GS4]

Hey there fellow modelers!!
Here are some pics of a project that I've just recently finished. It's a low relief building that Is a Cold Storage Distribution Centre and will provide a destination for my Cryogenic and mechanical reefer cars. What follows is a photograp[hic presentation of the project. Basically the structure consists of a balsawod core with Plastruc corrigated styrene sheeting glued onto the balsawood. The white edgings are Evergreen styrene angle strips. I almost forgot, the model is built in HO scale (3.5mm/ft --- 1/87th scale)

The raw materials



Attaching the one end wall



The other end wall


The front wall


Both doorways are cut out


What a difference a coat of paint makes


The next step is the making of the cargo doorways

The materials required


Each weather diaphram consists of 30 parts





Door assembly



The completed doorway




Some of the accessories

Simon... I can understand why this project is on display!
The work on the cargo doors is phenomenal, but the way you pulled it all together is what really sets it apart. The colors you've chosen, the ground cover, and all the details make for one beautiful structure and scene.

GREAT WORK!........and keep posting!
