SO got my order from BLMA today this is the first time I'm using there tread decking.......and so far I'm happy.
I'm building the GHQ ladder truck for a very close and dear buddie of mine,little does he know I'm 'tricking it Out" for him !! I hope he likes it?
Here is a baseline picture building going slow due to the arm and hand.
got the steps cut out,I'm using all the little bits I have left over can't waste this stuff
rear view,this was a tough cut,but I got it done.
So I want the entire deck in tread plating and after the mistake last nite I'm going to change things up abit.I filed off the stops for the ladder cover on the left side and the bases for the PEE parts on the right,I wanted to have one large peice of decking.
things are not really square but then it won't be me building it so I'll use the ladder cover as a stop worked out good I was off by 1/100th of an inch !!!! that will never happen again in a zillon years !!!!
SO now I run into a second problem,sometimes I wonder about me ???? being that I filed off the holder for the PEE how do I get them to stay put ?? I guessmated where they should go and drilled thur the decking into the body the small tab on the bottom will act as a holding point??? I hope ???
and here we are at the end of the build so far,comming along will get it done,he's in no rush as he still need's to build the buring building for his layout.
