HIGH LINE Part 3

On and on with this structure.  Just a lot of production line modeling.  A few photos so you can see some of the process.

1.  Cut .040 styrene into large pieces - some for the large sides and some for the inner sides.  I use a NWSL Duplicutter for this.

2.  Using a template, trace out the large sides.  

3.  Cut and piece in the inner sides - 5 pieces total

4.  Use a strip of 1/8" (.125) to draw the set back lines on the large sides, outside edge.

5.  Glue up hopper assembly.

6.  Glue two hopper assemblies back to back

7.  Build large I-beam from a scale 39' long strip of .040 styrene - I use a General HO Ruler as the width.  Apply .030x.188 strip plastic to create the flanges

8.  Glue the beam to the side of the hopper/bin assembly

9.  Cut two legs from 3/16 H Column - install one at back edge and one set back 1.25 inches.  Cut a square piece of .060 plastic as the pad for the front leg (.250x.250) and then a strip of .250 for the rear.

You will notice if you have a set of these plans that I am taking a liberty and reversing the high-line assembly so that the side with the set back legs and interesting detail is up against the stoves and furnace.
