Chain Home Project

No sleep this week, been doing a lot of research and came across this set of interesting model railroad items:



Looking for a less expensive alternate to the Shapeways product in a larger 1/200" scale, this would almost get you there, 2.5" x 2.5" base and 9.375" tall - comes in a kit of 4 for $25 USD . . . add to the upper structure it could look more like this receiver tower:



There is also a well tower that might make the transmitter towers . . . the elves have ordered them . . . when did they get a charge card?

Well the power tower kits arrived!



They will save a lot of time, but will also give the elves a bit of a head ache as they try to figure out how to do the modifications needed to look like what we want . . .



Nice crisp moldings for sure! 8 sides per box, hmmmmm if a guy were to use two per tower and made a set of cross members to connect them instead of a another molded side, one could make twice as many towers . . .



This will take some thought, I had planned on extending the height with an add on section, making the height from 8" to ?

They do look the part Dave.
As you say lots of scope for modifications.
