Layout Construction: Part 1 (Building the shadowbox)
Finally, after much thought and procrastination, this week I’ve put together a simple box that’ll house the future 1/35n2 mini. The box is made of 1.5″ x .75″ boards and measures 50″x20″x24″ overall. It is assembled with 2 types of braces: corner and straight, and came out pretty sturdy, although I might still reinforce the ceiling and floor parts. Then the base of 1/2″ pink foam was inserted, which will be glued to the framework with carpenter’s glue.
Furthermore, the trackplan is currently being reworked to accomodate commercial #4 turnouts, and will be posted soon…hopefully.
Until then, happy RRing
