Hi everyone;

I spent 1/2 hour writing a status update and the upload did not work.

Anyway, Version 1 of the project was cut but I but it left me with an empty building with large windows to see it.

Since I found pictures of the interior details, I decided to cut all floors so I could them and work on the inside.  I used Dollarama cardboard for the floors and inner walls as they will be easier to paint.  I used the original drawings and guide lines to transfer the wall, window and door locations.  I scored the floor lines and cut away locations for the doors, windows and inside staircase.

For the interior, copied the the exterior cuts and flipped them left/right.  I also cut the wall thickness away on each end so the cardboard would fit on the inside of the structure.  The exterior will be done to actual side plus the thickness of the cardboard to coverup the plywood finger joints.

The tower floor was done the same way.  I also worked on desks and chairs.  The crude chair version 1 on the left and the more refined version 2 on the right.  I'm currently working on chair version 3.

Today will be spent on the tower interior desks and chair.

The part which will give me the most difficulty will be the interior and exterior stairs.  Solving the problems is the fun part of the hobby.  I'm working with 2mm baltic plywood.  I would like to make 1mm thick sections however.

The thinnest I have managed so far with the laser is 0.25mm by the thickness of the ply (2mm).  It is the 2mm thickness I would like to slice.  I have to think of some sort of jig to achieve this.

Thanks for the interest.
