The ore bin
I sketched out a rough design of an ore bin to scale to give me an idea of what I needed. As it happened I found part of a wooden wall from an earlier and defunct structure that would make the bin front although it would result in a much wider structure than planned. Hey Ho and off we go! I added framing and cut out bits around the chute. I was going to scratchbuild the sides but another broken early model in my scrapbox provided braced walls that when cut down would be perfect for the job. A bit of cut and shunt and new framing gave me two good sides. A few scraps of scribed siding and sheet balsa provided the back wall and floor and some dressing with dusts and a bit of ore on the ledges and floor and we're good to go. |
