“A wall every night.”  (Which may become, “A window every night.”)



Seriously, cutting through the 0.060” styrene does take a while, and then the challenge is to fit each window as precisely as possible.  This will likely end up only meeting the three-foot rule.  A small mismeasurement on the elevation of the three windows in the single-story wall at right required me to add an 0.040” strip of styrene to the bottom of the wall and then to remove the same height from the top of the wall to line up the bottom of these windows with the windows in the two-story section.

With a tip on how to more efficiently cut window openings in sheet styrene from @Ed Kapuscinski, I finished another wall tonight:



First time in its eventual home.  The station should fit perfectly in this space:

Do you have any tree tips for him?

Nah, my tree tips would involve foliage.   He’s an anti-leafer.

What's the tip? Or is it classified?

Paging, @Ed Kapuscinski.

Two of the three walls are complete on the south end of the station.  That front facade piece with two doors/transoms and two windows was a real pain and took hours, including the modifications to the doors and windows.

Thanks!  And, I see what you did there.

Walls, windows, and doors finished.  Glad that’s over with!  The multi-pitched hip roof will be a real joy, too!

Looking good there @davefoxx. Pretty sure once you cut the door an window openings no one I’ll know about the cobbling of the subwall
