Today was productive although not as good a way as I might have liked. We spent all day glueing the final aluminium sheets in place with araldite (now well and truly sick of that stuff) and making sure they fit correctly. This fitting process has been awkwards a hell. A combination of limeted supplies and difficulty in measuring the actual size of each piece has made the whole process rely alot on luck.



The building is complete apart from the edging strips which should improve its look alot. Ed Sprayed the matting again due to the original layers coming off alot with us having to handle it to fix each segment in place.


Once back from the spray room Ed noticed that the 3rd arc up was angled too high - s***! There is'nt anything we can do about it. We have neither the materials or time to rectify this problem and I can only really put it down to my bad measurments when working out the arc dimentions. In my defence there were NO frontal arc plans to work from other than the side elevation and ground floor so each arc relied on checking by eye to see if it matched the images we had.




Regardless, it's unchangable. It still looks the part overall I guess.

Ed made some more poeple for the exterior, much more detailed than mine I might add. He also sprayed them and the trees he finished yesterday. We should have the bulk of the thing together by the end of tomorrow.


Bring on the end, We're just about sick of this project!
