On Monday I had good intensions to action a simple painting task of one of my 3D printed SRA perway vehicles. That stopped when I saw some photos of some of these vehicles in real life and the various colours on them. So I had to sit back and have a think. I did resume painting this afternoon and I have three vehicles in various stages of painting with the grill, mudguards, steps, windscreen wipers, seats, steering wheel all painted in different colours. I still have more to do with this activity and hopefully, a couple of these vehicles might be on the layout later on this week.
Not much other modelling occurred this week. I was too busy completing the assembly of my shed entry awning. I had to purchases a couple of packets of hex head screws of various sizes. On Wednesday this week (I think) the roof sheets were delivered. The awning is complete, but now it seems to weigh quite a bit. There was about 37kg of roof sheets. The frame is quite light, but there must be a couple of kgs of screws in the assembly as well. Now I just need to work out how I will attach the roof to the posts. I’m thinking bolts screwed through the posts supporting an L bracket which will screw to the bottom of the awning frame. I will now need to then work out how to attach it to the shed roof as well. I was hoping to have it sited above the shed roof, but this huge weight has put an end to this free-standing idea. I did have a think about it and on Saturday I had to call in the re-enforcements. Luckily Darren could come over on Saturday arvo so we could have a discussion on assembly. We might have had an amber fluid as well. This subject will also be a topic for discussion this Tuesday night when the learned guys rock up.
I still have lots of work to complete inside the shed. This includes LED light wiring to do around the layout, some fascia painting when I remember to buy some more black paint, and I might need to do a clean-up before Tuesday Night.
