The Load \ Unload Station

 

 

This weekend we made a major "step" forward as we began to build the load / unload station. This turned out to be quite a major project to undertake. It started easily enough as I created these structures which needed some electrical wiring threaded through a hole which needed to be widened.

 

 

Then came the "step" part. What a wild ride this turned out to be! My first stairway I glued in all of the steps, one by one, on the left side and then tried to get the right side to fit in. I finally got it, but it turned out to be a bad idea. It's best to glue two steps at the top , two steps at the bottom, than add both sides together and slide in the rest of the steps. This takes lots of time and patience (not to mention searching for steps you'll keep dropping on the floor).

 

 

In the end, this stairwell turned out pretty nice. I will never look at stairs the same way again!

 

 

This stairway, which was the longest one in length, took just short of an hour to complete. After a step shot out of my tweezers and went flying across the room, never to be found again, I had to grab some scrap plastic to build my own. What fun! And where do all these stairs lead?

 

 

To our new loading / unloading station! I love the way this turned out. We even added a loading light inside.

 

 

Next up, we continue to build structures that appear along the attraction's perimeter. Here is one showing it's new wiring, waiting for it's roof.
