1/72 Scale Aircraft Hangar

[Airframes]

Jim, there are loads of lighting options for 00/HO railways, and dolls houses, which include 'grain of wheat' bulbs, miniature and sub-miniature LEDs etc, and in some cases, you can get a complete set which includes the old-fashioned 'conical' shades.
Apart from model railway outlets, check out doll's houses suppliers. I've got a link for a UK supplier, which will give you some ideas, and I'll post it when I locate it !

Here's the link : - www.smallscalelights.co.uk

I'm sure there are similar outlets in the 'States.

As promised, the gluing has started. I used an elevated work surface (a large book on the B-26) because of reasons that will become clear later and covered it with wax paper so the glue wouldn't stick and to protect the surface of the book. The same glue that I used on the base was used here and a small amount was poured into a bowl and applied with a toothpick. Cleaning up the overflow on the pieces was easy using one of my wife's makeup sponges. (The white triangle in the picture above.) I used the tip of the wedge, dry, to get right into where the joint was made. Will cleanup residue on sponge later with water, but didn't want to use it wet on the actual pieces as I didn't know if it would "lift" the marker. My kids trusty Legos are used as supports until things dry. Though I wish they had some weight to them, they did the job just fine. (In my dreams I have a nice set of metal angles, but those puppies are pricey!) I will wait for that to dry and proceed on.

Good stuff Jim, and I'm glad you explained what that white triangular thing is - I thought you'd dropped a slice of Camembert !

 

[Capt. Vick]

Or a stately Roquefort...

Wensleydale?
Yes, that's me, Mr. Wensleydale ..................

 

[Capt. Vick]

I'm partial to a nice wedge of Bolivian Beaver Cheese...none in stock eh? Not much of a cheese shop then is it?

 

[Airframes]

Well, we do have some ..................

Looking good Jim. A damp sponge shouldn't affect the sharpie. It takes alcohol to take that stuff off

 

[Capt. Vick]

Good tip. I will test. But it is cardboard...

 

[Wurger]

If you painted the cardboard parts it should give it a good protection against the alcohol.

 

[Capt. Vick]

I think I'll just drink the alcohol.

 

[Wurger]

It's a good idea. Prosit !

 

[Airframes]

Hic !
And here's my hale scarecraft banger .... hic !
