That looks great Mr.Race. :smiling3:
Really like how the Wood of the front frame finishes it off, excellent stuff!

Morning Andy , thanks for looking in . Say hello to Rach and a stroke for Cohan for us .

That 3m tape is very good but with the risk of leverage there I think you are wise to use the glue as well

Hi Neil,yes it seemed the right thing to do .It's perfect when sitting in the table but if you lift it without support the whole thing could pull away .

[Steve Jones]

Lovely update mate.

Evening all .
Little more done, internal support for the dio it's self
Removal of face paper on the Kappa , showing the reason why I always use it for scribe work.

Support.

Cut out insides had been done



It just lets the base sit below the sightline from the front.



Base on temporary, those lines on the base floor show the upright side marks.

Glued with UHU POR . weights on and left to dry.




The Kappa Line board is the only one that allows you to remove the face paper with out heat, just a block to pull the paper back top as its removed, saves the board snapping in two .

Other sheet to hold the board down.

Hi John, just looking through and expected the engine to start up. Latest carpentry has gotten me confused...have to see the end result to understand better.

Cheers,

A lot done to day, working on foam board.

First off the exposed wall , originally had a rough plaster on, fell off with the damp exposing the brick and stone work.


The back of the dio has the door in the wall .


Been adding the buttress to the main wall


Three of these , this one has some damage to the bottom section. Bricks to be scribed on later.


Door supports done. The right hand side has a slope from an external section which is not yet built.

The door, fun to do .


This is why I can't clear up at night, stuff drying over night.



Thanks for looking in.

John.

Nice JR, Not quite sure how all this is going to work.......I'm sure you have a good handle on it and that building is on schedule according to Matron, so no need to give you the Hypo!!

[Jim R]

Looking excellent John. You're in your element. That wall will paint up really nicely.
