Thanks, Dwyane
The 3 turbine pits start at a slightly lower level than the main floor. When the instruction drawings are larger than the assemblies, either the first are big or the second are small. On the last pictures, it is the second case… |

More details: platforms and big parts that will fit on both sides of the turbines.

Quick question, the pages you are cutting parts from are off the cd? If so, what size is each sheet? Awesome work so far, following, as I am getting ready to start

@ The Skipper - Thanks for the comment I don't have the CD. My copy was already printed. Most of the pages are in A3 size but each has two numbers and is framed so that each A3 can be cut in two A4 without cutting the parts. You can check on the kit pictures. Maybe the CD has a file for each A4. Frankly, I don't know.
The turbine building has a big rolling crane and a much smaller one on the not so tall part of the building. Both make interesting assemblies and a good break from the piping work. |

This is really coming along well. And I am so tempted to start mine - I mentioned I think that I was about to crack it out when you started!
You have done a really neat job so far - your work with the corners and bends is really exceptional as well.

After seeing all these pictures. I'm almost willing to try my hand at a design/scratch build of Watt Bar. I've worked here 13 years (eek) and know this place pretty well.

Thanks for the comments
@ Kevin - before starting, check today's pictures On average, it has been a pleasing and very interesting build. On average... Each of the 3 turbines is made up of many blade disks separated by spacers. By cutting the blades with scissors, the blades “automatically” set at an angle. Not necessarily the good angle nor perfectly uniform. Anyway, the look is better than with plain disks. You might have guessed that the turbine assembly is hardly a pleasant task… |

Obviously the patience of a Saint!
Is the thin axle paper or did you use something else?
