1/72 Scale Aircraft Hangar

[Capt. Vick]

A bit of an update for my ever patient brothers. Finally decided to finish the outside walls with a Testors flat white rattle can. Came out good enough, but I don't think it matches the "style" of the roof. It needs to be brick. Fortunately there where may options in the HO 1/86 scale to chose from. Finally settled on the following product: (See yellow label in picture below.)

See the test side wall piece, without "glass". Pretty snazzy huh? Now just need to trim it up a bit and glue it all together. Three more walls to go! Thanks for watching!

Engines ahead....Warp Factor ONE.....Engage....

 

[Capt. Vick]

Hahahaha!

Honestly, even at HO scale, which is smaller than 1/72 scale, the bricks in the wall are pretty overscale, but they look right and that's good enough for me.

Ah, but they're Euro bricks - Brussels dictated that they had to be larger than American bricks ......................

 

[Capt. Vick]

Is that really a thing Terry?

 

[Airframes]

Of course it is - cough !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Ah! Silly me.

Good work Jim.

 

[Capt. Vick]

Thank you sir! More updates to come.

Ok all the brick work is rough cut to the four wall sides. Some touch-up work will have to be done in the end, but I'm not concerned about that now.

This is my concern now. What type of adhesive to use in bonding the above two materials together? Painted corregated cardboard to painted plastic-like material. I need a very good bond to keep the walls from warping. Any suggestions?????

I agree on the CA glue. The PVA one should be good too.
