90mm - Double-decker, shelf 1 of 3

This article was published Feb 02, 2014.

As I wrote in my November log I was starting over completely. Here is the report on the first shelf of two to be.

I had some things with the previous layout I didn´t like and since the right wall also is twice the size, I did get use of that as well. Now each level has much better room in both width and height. First level is 90cm from the floor instead of 120. Second level is now at 140 instead of 160. What to do with the space the previous layout takes is not decided yet.

All measures are in centimeters. The lumber I am using is 2*4 and for heavy duty 2*7.

From the floor and up, first 3 banana boxes in height for storage, then first layer there the LGB trains will go and on top of that, the level for 90mm (1/18) scale trains.

PICT0002 -- the frame is 360 long, 50 deep and 200 high

PICT0006 -- this support will hopefully keep the roof and lights straight

PICT0102 -- smaller supports like these are glued on the back of each background sheet to keep it flat also in the future

PICT0113 -- here I am building the lighting pockets

PICT0201 -- an experiement on how much just putty and paint can hide a corner

PICT0301 -- here I am painting the light pockets high gloss white in hope it will reflect better than kitchen alu foil I used last time

PICT0401 -- still lots to do, but that will be in next log
