In the middle of the Gato build I often get lose my bored, so I have started another build on the side.
Weekends my wife and I often spend some time in the country, taking the Gato and all associated with became awkward.
I have now left the Gato for weekends, and am building the 'Big E' at home, just transporting my tools between builds.
Although it is my intention to motorise, I also want to build the hangar deck (complete with lighting) that can be viewed
through the elevator entrances. The bridge/tower will also be illuminated (well that's the plan hopefully)
I purchased several after market items such as PE elevators, deck equipment, extra aircraft and a full PE detail up kits.
Using 'L' shaped plasticard I ran runners the length of the inner hull sides to seat the hangar deck on.
The bridge/tower I hollowed out to allow access for the lighting/wiring. The observant of you will also see my deliberate mistake, I opened up an area that didn't need opening.
Luckily it wasn't too difficult to correct, thank god for greenstuff.
Hopefully the photos will be self explanatory.
