Vestibules

The component parts of WHR carriage 2048 are coming together now.

I've detailed the door units with the second layer of beading added now, and the spacers to set them back from the main bodyside.


(That's after they'd all be deconstructed and cut down in height by 1mm - see a previous post for details of this foul-up)

The bases for the end pieces have also been made.

These are quite complex to made because the top piece with the overhang has to be cut and fitted on top of the pillars and its vital to make sure it's placed centrally.

Next up is one of my least-favourite jobs - making up the corridor connections.

This involves cutting, fixing and filing 24 pieces of styrene strip to create the folding flaps either side of the end doors, and takes about an hour to make up all six.
