I used painters tape to wrap them together and then copy the design on to the top piece. And yes I used an actual compass to draw the curve. |
Since it is really important to make sure the cross members are identical I laid them out on another piece of PVC and included the positions where I will need to cut notches. |
I started out just trying to figure out the best way to approach getting it all together. |
All the cross members dry fitted into place at this place using just the two center supports. |
Top cross piece in place and its pretty solid at this point. |
A look at the how the two modules will look when fastened together. |
Here the top plate and the top front fascia have been added. |
This shows the bottom wear plates and the bottom fascia. |
And a completed module just waiting for some scenery to be added. |
How it might look with the track and buildings in place. |
And a bit of an overhead view. |
The next phase will be to figure out how to fasten the two modules together, cut the track plan into two sections and make the benchwork cut out for the underpass/river portion on the left.
Great idea to tape the sheets together and cut them all out at once.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice when an old woodworker trick solves the problem.
