Hi  All,    

On  the workbench   this  weekend  is   a ombintation  of  Walthers/DPM  N scale  kits   first  turret building

&   Gripps luggage

I decided to kitbash into a retail/warehouse facility.



I retained the loading dock walls but angled the front wall to add interest and it was needed with the parts i had from the kits, a new roof was made from corrugated evergreen sheet as the kit part was poor.

As always with my structures i mounted it on a sheet of plasticard to allow me to handle it while contruction and painting but cut out a large rectangular hole inside the structure base for access to the windows and electrics later.

At the rear another loading dock needs to added for incoming stock

The roof is in loose in the pics here just a trial fitting, i hope to detail the inside and add lighting of course with other features outside, i noticed the gap on the right hand bottom side missed sorting it out before taking the pics

What do you use to stick the parts together?

I never use glue Pete. I use cement.
