More buildings on the Virtual Workbench

Something a little different this weekend, just as a break from the usual Thor stuff.

Guard Post 336/54, as built at many USAF bases in the UK:



Not quite complete, the access ladder needs to be added and the handrail could do with a cosmetic tweak, but the bulk of it's there (including the foundations which you can't see...).

All the best,

Roughing out Alconbury's 1955 tower, as originally designed:

A bit more twiddling:





Everything on the ground floor and internally still remains to be added, it'll get done when I get around to doing the model properly.

Anyone have an idea what the original paint scheme for this building was? I have an inkling the USAF liked things white in the late 50s...

A bit more tweaking to the Thor RIM Hangar model, thanks to Steve for digging out the interior photos at the National Archives at Kew.
I've added both pairs of main roof gantry rails, rebuilt the low-level gantries at the other end and started detailing the interior structure roofs with their support trusses for the false ceilings and catwalks above.

Still lots and lots more to go in yet....

Based on proposal drawings held at the ARG Archive, a couple of VHB Stations that never were...

Alconbury:



Bassingbourn:

Filled out the Alconbury VHB model a little:

About as far as I can go down this particular theoretical avenue...

Something a little more mundane for this evening, but still going to be a pain to rig before it's finished...

RAF Flagstaff to AM Dwg. 621/26:

Must be moonlight throwing that shadow. I can't ever recall being on duty and raising the Ensign at dawn and lowering it in the evening with the sun shining:)
