Almost finished the Citrus Shed.  It seems to me that Showcase Miniatures used 
the same thin material for this kit as they use for their HO kits.  The 
material is so thin, and the glue points so few, that I'm constantly 
reassembling the structure with additional bracing.  The other contributors are 
the open construction and odd angles of the parts makes the proper clamping of 
glue joints almost impossible.  Even so, it has gone together extremely well.  
The design and laser cutting has produced parts so accurate that no fitting is 
necessary.  Pictures coming, if it stays together this time :o)
 
Rebuilt the sub-standard area of my benchwork.  A little more work and I can 
begin laying track on the lower level.  Then I have to tackle the lift-out 
section across the doorway.  I haven't any first hand experience with these 
things, and haven't decided on the method.  I could go with a drop-down or 
lift-out.  The opening is only slightly over 24", and it would only have to be 
used to get into the room.  No need to use it once your in there (except 
bathroom breaks).  I don't think more than 3 people could be in there at any 
one time.  4 people would have to be VERY good freinds or just looking things 
over, but not operating.  There isn't enough room for any more.
 
The end points that need to be connected are quite stable.  Any good advice?
