    Hi Paul,

    I'll get some on the go tonight ..... Yes ... I even remembered the camera this week.

    More cutting out tonight. Possibly a bit of gluing and folding and creasing ....... :facepalm:

    I've brought a pad of graph paper as well so I might try and sketch a bit of a mock up.

    Busy times.

    Cheers

    Toto

    Ian.....my dear chap,

    A hammer is the universal tool, employed by the frustrated and less gifted modeller, to whom all other avenues have been exhausted......:headbanger:

    What is evident from the photographs accompanying the text, is that our Toto has elevated himself to a new level of excellence, and one can quite clearly see he has many specialised tools within his tool box. Therefore one would assume, that Toto would consider a hammer these days, as a rather crude tool with limited capabilities and consequently, I doubt that he would bother to carry one in his box of modelling tools and materials.

    I rest my case your honour.

    I`ll send you my account in the post Toto.

    I still keep it close at hand although I do agree that it is a crude instrument of choice....... but it works.:avatar:
    Now, just to keep up with where I am with the base layers for my warehouse ( and to keep the Messiah at bay ), here are a few pictures. they dont look much but they take a while to cut out and there are multiple versions of some of them.
    [​IMG]

    Some sanding around the edges will take any small rough edges off.
    [​IMG]

    and some more, This is the far rear end which will house a plant room at ground floor level hence the solid wall. Thios will have vents and some ducting etc added.
    [​IMG]

    a couple of "specials" cut to facilitate the shape of the available footprint.
    [​IMG]

    and tonights task, i need 3 or 4 of these cut out.
    [​IMG]

    The above base unit will accomodate the upper floors. the windows are slightly larger than the lower level versions. The above windows / walls were part of the original building ( so the story goes ) with the lower factory walls having been built on as an extension over the years.We'll see if it works out.
    cheers for now.
    Toto

    If Toto ever discovers an electric hammer, were doomed.

    Hi chaps,
    I started doing some of the brick papers etc ( just for you Ron ) Just a little progress but progress none the less.
    here we go.
    [​IMG]

    Above are the first floor window levels to the extension which will run along the front of the building.
    [​IMG]

    A bit of a close up.
    [​IMG]

    The production line above.
    and now for the lower ground level.
    [​IMG]

    and another with the plinths fixed along the bottom.
    [​IMG]

    and that is about it. Believe it or not that took about two hours.
    Never mind, I'll continue with it tomorrow as i've not even scratched the surface yet.
    cheers

    Wow this is looking good Toto :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

    Just imagine a non model train person walking in to Totos hotel room to see all the bits of model wall standing in the clamps

    I wonder what they would think ??
