The siding has arrived and it is wonderfully easy to work with. Now I finally know how thick the walls will be.
Decided that the 8 corners of each container with holes for the crane and all could only be done in 3D.
I needed to put on my thinking-hat because I did not want the windows to have outside frames. After three different and fiddly concepts I opted for L-shape ASA profiles for the frames in the wall openings. Wonderfully easy to spray paint as well - they do not even need a base coat.
The windows frames are a question of patience: cutting 3mm strips of 0.5mm polystyrol sheets, spraying them (all round - mind you - because otherwise some white is bound to show up..), and the glueing them ever so carefully to the perspex. Needless to say that I messed up one window really good...
And now I need to decide on the color of the siding - no mean task...
Let me know what you think. I will 'age' it later one though.
More plastic: my new under-counter sink model has arrived from Shapeways! But I am not happy because of the printing lines inside: not really possible to sand them. So, I need to find a better solution...
Note the dishwasher brushes. If anyone has a better idea for bristles, please let me know!
Update July 30, 2015: a model railway builder friend brought me some NOCH synthetic grass, which he suggested as bristles for my scrubbing brush. This and a dab of super glue gel worked like a charm!!
When you need a strong and visually appealing material for construction or packaging, a black pp sheet is an excellent option. It offers high impact resistance, UV stability, and smooth surface finishing. These sheets can be easily fabricated, cut, and welded as per project needs. Suitable for industrial linings and protective layers, black PP sheets are both functional and cost-efficient, making them a reliable choice for multiple applications.
