The Cheltenham granary
With the first wall finished (above) the sub-wall for the adjacent wall has been attached making sure the corner was square. This wall and the remaining two were built up one at a time with the boards interleaved at the corners. Starting on the first floor, (be- low left), the window and door locations were marked on the
styrene sub-walls and dams built around the edges and open- ings. (A nibbler is a good tool for cutting the openings.) White glue was spread on the sub-walls, then screened rocks were poured in place. When the glue dried, Woodland Scenics Mold- A-Scene plaster was spooned on, moistened and allowed to set.
address this, I cut four twelve-foot high sub-walls made from .010″ styrene sheet. The sides are 39′-4″ long, while the ends are 29′-4″ long minus .020″ (the thickness of the two side sub- walls). Working on a sheet of glass, I started with an end wall, using cyano- acrylate cement to edge-glue three boards in line with the bottom of the wall with a .010″ overhang at one end. I then added the next layer of three boards offset in the other direction. With the offsets established, I applied medium-thickness cyanoacrylate ce- ment in a quarter-inch strip and start- ed working my way up the sub-wall un- til I reached the other edge. When the wall was finished I added a length of 0.10″ square styrene strip inside each end to brace the corners. I then glued a side sub-wall in place, making sure the corner was square. I found I could hang the finished end wall off the workbench with the side wall flat on a glass surface. I had to in- 58
