Hi to all,
Work on the cars continues, the roofs are done and now details are added
The ladders are next, this are made with .80 wire
Five steps 15mm wide are made, this are positioned 10mm apart from the bottom up and 5mm from the side, the top step is placed 10mm from the door edge
The position of the steps is marked
The steps are made with the .80 wire to 15mm wide
The steps are installed 5mm from the side edge
Now the floors are made using .70 styrene sheet, measuring 87 x 95mm
To make the floors even with the entrance step I used 4 pieces of angle L of 1.70 x 6.3 x 6.3mm
One for each corner
The angles are glued to the corners
The floors are glued in place over the four L angles in the corners
With the floors done now the roof panels can be installed
The roof panels measure 280mm long x 145mm wide, made with .70 styrene sheet
The panels are centered and I started gluing it from the middle down to one side, then the other
Side, holding it with masking tape and clamps
Using clamps and a steel ruler the sides a glued to the side panels
The finished roof
Now the side ladders are made, I used 2.4 x 2.4 angle to make the parts
You need 16 pieces 24mm long and 16 pieces 12mm long for each car
One side of each of the 24mm pieces is cut in a 45 angle
The parts are glued together
From the bottom up make a mark at 12mm to start an angle finishing at 1.2mm on the top
After all 8 ladders are made I started the construction of the long handle support
One for each corner of the car
Using the same 2.4 x 2.4 angle cut 8 pieces 48mm long and make 8 20mm long handles
With .80 wire, the handle is glued 10mm from the top of the platform floor
Bafter the ladders are glued in place you need to mark an opening on the side wall
It measures 3mm tall x 1mm on each side
The marks are done 3 x 1 x 1
A starting hole is made with a drill bit
With the knife the hole is cut
The ladder is finished with 6 bolts 3 on each side, the same for the handle support bar
Ammo car
Ladder details reference
Handle support bar reference
Here you can see the ladders and large handle support bars
That’s for now, still a little more to do on the cars doors and air conditioning
Connections to finish with the cars.
Thanks for watching!

Fantastic work, truly spectacular. Its funny though, I sat and tried to figure out what you were going to used the fur for in the build. Then it dawned on me that that was the picture on the mat you were working on. Laughed at myself for that
James
Lol , I have thought several times that it was a drawing

I have thought about trying to obtain one of these and even though I have a thing for large aircraft, they just don't match this for just how massive it is and how much space it will take.
I really like how this is turning out and really appreciate just how much work it is taking to get it right.
