What do you use for your sub-walls? Regards Rob My current build. http://railroad-line.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=53468 Country: Australia | Posts: 2795 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 01/18/2012 :  9:34:15 PM         Thanks for the responses guys, hopefully I'll meet the challenge deadline.. I think my bordello will end up in the main port town larry, when I get around to finishing it. Dead on Jerry! The subwalls are my usual foamboard Robert, available in Wal-mart etc for around $3 per 2'x3' sheet. very easy to work with.

My favorite structure of all those I have built.

Country: | Posts: 6957 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 01/19/2012 :  08:28:34 AM         Thanks for the posts Mike, Wes and Karl. Good to have you following along. Karl.A Z scale.... hmmm... Nah! Country: USA | Posts: 6371 TRAINS1941 Engineer Premium Member Posted - 01/19/2012 :  08:51:37 AM     Karl That foam board 1/4" thick??? Do you brace the corners and sides to keep it from warping??? And last but not least anything in the interior?? Jerry Jerry "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." A. Lincoln Country: USA | Posts: 13194 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 01/19/2012 :  08:59:07 AM         Jerry, the foamboard is just under 1/4" thick..... 9" Oscale or 3/16" real. by creasing the interior of the walls as can be seen in the previous pic no bracing is usually required, the walls remain flat. there are no plans for an interior on this build. Karl.A Country: USA | Posts: 6371 hon3_rr Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/19/2012 :  10:25:43 AM     I takes me more time to reply or post something here on the forum then what it takes for "FastMan" to build the structure.... Looking forward to this build! -- KP -- Life is to short to build all of the models I want to. Country: USA | Posts: 7237 ETinBH Fireman Premium Member Posted - 01/19/2012 :  11:29:01 AM     I agree with Mike of those in the series, but I also liked Whileys - that was a cool structure Elliott Country: USA | Posts: 4394 BillMichaels Engine Wiper Posted - 01/19/2012 :  2:58:36 PM     Karl- It almost looks like used toothpicks to reinforce your corner joints on the foamboard? I'm going to get a notepad so I can follow along. Don't finish without me! Country: USA | Posts: 285 UKGuy Fireman Posted - 01/19/2012 :  3:57:05 PM         Bill, I use sewing pins to hold the structure together initially while I am test fitting the subwalls and checking out the proportions visually. Thats another benefit of the foamboard, easy to "mock up" as I go along. The pins will not be used when the structure gets glued together later. Thanks all for looking.

Karl.A Karl You seem smarter than the average bear and dressed!!!! For that tip have a Corona on me!!!! Jerry Jerry "And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count.

The foam board is my preferred base--- I lap my corners---by cutting the foam to the inside of the backing with an exacto----doesn't have to be precise. You then have a glue surface for the edge foam. Will you be using the garage type door on the front of the small building? Just wondering.
