Yeah the main part is almost done then comes the bottom half which I am kind of dreading.

Thanks man

Charles, I don't envy you in the least. I recall you started this journey on the old board some years ago. Good luck with the next steps. Time to buy a 3D printer.
Some days you just can't get rid of a ... SHARK!

I would love to have a 3D printer just can't afford it yet.
Yeah the journey began on the old board that whole build was scrapped when I started over due to the original not being the right size.

I am replying to Batman65 like this so the pictures don't post again.
Yeah it looked ok way too small though the only thing that survived is the ladder.

Thanks Jeremy there are major improvements to the new build that the prototype lacked so it was not a total waste but it sure was a lot of effort to build that first one. The new build even more effort because the first one never got painted!

Just in case anyone was wondering where the next update is let me explain.
Finishing the railing is a big project and I am waiting for my upcoming time off for Christmas and the new year to tackle it. So be patient it will be happening soon.
In the meantime I have been working on this.
I would like to make it part of my signature but do not know how to do it.
What do you think guys made entirely in Microsoft paint by me. :D

Well I decided to work on the AP railings this weekend rather than doing all of it during my off time from work so here goes an update as always with lots of pictures.

Enjoy

Here you see I have the bottom catwalk railing completed this is several shots from all angles.

Still have the top railings to complete I need some advice I made the color version of the sign for the AP seen in the previous post because I liked it better than the black and white one. However that sign was used early in the show before the "Safety Lock Set" sign was added later after I guess Molly's fall.
Question is do I keep the color sign and not make the Safety Lock Set sign or go with the black and white sign and make the Safety Lock Set sign?

What are your thoughts and how do you like my sign I made?

I appreciate all the views I have gotten on this project Thank you :D .

Well guys I hope you all had a nice Christmas I know I did my son built me a new PC with windows 10 that I am still getting used to but enough of that on to the update.

I got the top railings finished as shown in the following pictures.
Enjoy :D

The railings look ok I still do not like how some of it looks but I am not starting over it is what it is.
Now I am working on the signs for the front of it also the leg base plates and when I get those made and installed the main part will be complete and then I can focus on the bottom half which will be a challenge it may not be as big but there are a lot of details that will have to be made.

Until next time
