Made people using hand cut styrene strips. Although basic, they do the job really well. I primed and sprayed them black to fit in with the other details on our model.


Made loading bay from styrene with a simple door detail. As this is just a feture of the bigger model we feel there isnt any need for over detailing in this area as it isnt essential to the peception of how the building fits on to the rive bank.

I primed it and ed gave it a coat of the grey paint we used for the main interior section. Unfortunatly some dust got onto the surface whilst it was drying so we'll have to give it another coat tomorrow. Despite this I'm quite happy with it so far.

Laser Cut arcs eventually. Ed Ward overbooked the laser which really slowed our progress this afternoon. We managed to get on and cut the arcs (see pic below) out just before the workshop closed.
Ed Ward said he'd booked us for tomorrow instead so we can still make use of that booking to do the veneer for the top layer detailing.
Ed did alot of testing for both the backsprayed arcs (using the test ones we cut last week) and the Aluminium outer skin (see pic below). He also began testing the glue to use on the arc supports which has to be contact adhesive because of the paint being in direct contact. 
Emerald Vac formed the final arcs, cut and sanded them down to proep them for sticking.
She also edited veneer files on the computer ready for laser cutting tomorrow afternoon.
