Station assembly

Basic structure

Last evening I stated assembling the station, beginning with the basic walls. These are cut from 1mm plywood and snap together nicely due to the numerous tabs. A bit of white glue sticks it all together.

The battens are cut into a layer of .4mm plywood (.016″) that also includes the trim that covers all the tabbing on the walls. This was glued onto the walls after the structure had been glued together.

The entire structure was then painted with a custom mix of paint to approximate the colors used on some of the CASO stations. The trim (not the battens) will be painted a darker green color afterward.
