The above pic shows where I plan to put the new radioshack/ops module between the garage door ramp and the area behind the hangar door structure.
Although I will lose the 2 windows,the garage door provides ample viewing from this side.The windows will be simply boarded up from the inside as would probably happen when any new addition like this was made to the original structure .I havent yet decided whether to have 2 doors in this module or just one.Two doors tend to cut down a lot on options for the furnishings within the module due to lack of wall space.Or course it will have to have some sort of heating stove as well.
Yesterday,I began to work on the mobile fuel/water/oil unit.The barrel is made from an old plastic pill bottle and the spoked wheels are a spare set I had .This is not difficult to scratchbuild and should add a lot of interest because you just dont see these old handpumps around any more.A friend gave me a set of spoked wheels from an old Ford build in 1/24 scale and I added these to the aircraft towbar.After a little tire re-shaping and painting they look ok and seem to be just the right size.
