Thank you!

Waiting for a few more supplies and we'll be into the final stretch. Looking forward to playing with this base. Longer term, it has been designed for an expansion to the right side of the two work halls. I've got some ideas for that but will wait until this one is finished.

Nicely done Frank, very nicely done. Your factory project is really coming along very well . . . you are certainly gifted.

That huge building is awesome! It's just like the real thing! I love the brick work, and the windows and extensive internal detail. Thanks for sharing your project with so many great photos.

Thanks, Mike, Joe


There is a second work hall to match the first. I envision an extension off the right side with some large oil tanks. We'll see if I can convince the elves to do another section.....

Finally, received some more 0.005 clear styrene, so work continues on the upper windows.

Same here. Can't wait to see it with some of your vehicles and figures. Certainly a lot of work making this dio.

Still waiting for the last of the window material. Leaves some time for details



We used a combination of magnets and magnetic tape to fasten roof sections. It's not perfect but it does facilitate getting into the buildings.





The shrubs and bushes alongside the buildings are completed.

Frank,

Just fabulous what you and the "elves" are able to put together. When I look inside; I think I'm looking at a real building.
