Rio Bozo Consolidating

The second and larger structure made from the Atlas Middlesex Manufacturing kit. Made in the same way as Ashford's. All in all I'm very pleased with the result of a couple of day's enjoyable effort. £50 for a plastic kit still hurts to my old fashioned sense of value but I'd definitely look at Atlas' offerings again.
All those windows get a wash. I worked out a better way to glue on the glazing.  Turn the sprues over, spray the glue then glaze, then cut out. No mess, no fuss and no glue marks on the glazing.


Minimal bracing. Once the roof was glued in it became quite rigid.

Again minimal bracing.


Pretty well finished. The main changes, apart from completely reworking the walls, were putting in different freight doors. I didn't put in the basement windows as they won't be seen when the loading dock is built.
