Grand work!

Stunning work! Are you using lasercut walls for the factories or is this a kit?

Yes one laser cut template that I chop up for everything angled roof,also the small square windows are a template strip as well.not a kit.

Hi guys

Ok that's the factory built that administration building was a toughy to design but happy with it now.
Next step is to destroy the factory then start the internal work and the part roofs.

Rich

Hi Richard

90% is cut with a `snap of blade full length with tissue paper wrapped around the end i`m holding set against a steel ruler score once properly and then its a guide to scoring several more times for 3mm MDF for 2mm MDF I also get away with using a scalpel .Once cut light quick sand on flat surface with a block both sides and edge .All lines are either tape and ruler measured or using a square.

Cheers AL

I do have a TCT pull saw in the leanto but don't use it much.

Cheers AL

which size(s) did you use?

Sorry don't think I answered this one , I used the 600mm x600mm x 50mm blue Styrofoam 6 to a pack due to thickness and I ordered two packs for a 6`x 8` overall board.

Stunning work should there not be a sniper position at the top of the chimney?
Looking like a very interesting table to play on, how are you going to deal with line of sight?

I only wrote one sentence to go with this batch of pictures ...and still I get the question............doh!

Yes there is a few cut outs and access points to be done yet.My minicraft drill packed up so I had to wait for the replacements to turn up (came today)
Did you know that the Lasur Chemical works was the location of the Russian sniper school.............who`d a thought huh.

Cheers AL
