  1. More details added. Will be adding a bay gate( not sure what they are called) and some minor other details. I took some out door photos(not really good ones, as it was still early in the morning), but the results were enough to let me know it looks good in the outdoors.
  2. Added some interior greebies inside the second docks. --------------------- Painted a yellow guide line in front of the second dock: --------------------------- Added the Caution pillar:
  3. Thank you kindly. Kind words Digby. Much appreciated.
  4. Thanks Ken.
  5. The lights painted and mounted together with the camera. I am pretty pleased how they both turned out:
  6. Details added:
  7. More progress of the second truck docking bay.Added a black wash over the entire concrete platform. Then added a second brown wash accentuate the concrete. The results looked pretty good to me. Then I added the details to the bay itself:
  8. Thanks.
  9. Yeah. I might just do that after afterwards. Although, I am not very good with working out how to light things up the right way. But I like your suggestion. Thanks.
  10. The dock platform:
  11. I built the U-beam from an old piece of plastic I found. I painted it blue and added a piece of poster-board painted a concrete color. This is what I used to paint the building. It was custom mixed by my local paint store. It is a concrete color.
  12. I made a drainage in the ground in front of the second docking platform:
  13. I decided to scratch built my own security camera. Here are the parts and what I used to put my own together: The components all laid out- I made the glass out of plastic. I had to mount the see-through plastic piece separately. Then cut a second piece to provide a protective cover for the lens. Then a third inner body piece as the internal housing: The components mounted together: I think the effort was worth it: ----------------------------------------- I used resin nuts and bolts. Glad I had bought many of these sometime ago. I knew they would have come in handy:
  14. Posting where I left off. I finally got the components together that will give me a reasonable spotlight design. I was planning of purchasing but decided that I could not wait and went ahead and scratch built my own. I think they will look 'ok', when painted.
  15. Thank you. I hope the end result will be worth it.
  16. Thank you. Much appreciated.
  17. The formboard before and after. I am removing the first layer as this has the material I am using is sandwiched between two cardboard paper. Removing the layer is very easy. I just take a sharp hobby knife and carefully peel off the paper. This is what it looks like after I remove the paper backing: The steel beams. I painted them blue. The back of the second wall backing was done using the same method as the front. I used only half of the wall. I did not want to use the entire length. So I did it this way. This is how the wall looks now, when it is setup. I think it is starting to look like something. These will be the corner protective pillars that will be used at the entrance of the second entrance of the industry building: I decided to make air vents out of these. Yes. I tend to use whatever I have on hand, as to not spent too much money. I am going to use these to kit-bash/scratch built some Air conditioners. We shall see how that goes. These, I will use to scratch built some flood lights:
  18. Thank you Cary.
  19. Thank again.
  20. Thank you for looking.
  21. My pleasure.
  22. Here you go Jim. This is what one looks like. The mechanism in the rear holding the lower bar of the truck. I think the correct name is Choker or choke hold. Can someone please verify this for me please?:
  23. Managed to find some photos of earlier progress of the build. You can see what I used as the facade and pic frame for the base as well as how I intended to lay it all out: The forklift is a plastic toy model I bought at a local super market. I was lucky, because the scale was 1/24. So I already started to take it apart and removing the internal mechanism to do some minor detailing and a repaint:
  24. Thank you for your observations.
  25. Thank you kindly. Glad you like it so far.
