Hangar Doors

Thanks Eric,I kind of like your idea of leaving half of the doors closed.I never thought of that.
First I will have to investigate weather sliding doors ,like option 6, existed in the 20s.I remember that my grandfather had a garage door that swung up and in and used counter weights of some sort.I am sure that that door was from the turn of the century.I know that in Canada most of the doors that I have seen have those racks on both sides to house the hangar doors when open.
I have a painting of a hangar at the Toronto airport from 1938 with no racks on the side and I wonder where the doors were housed? Cheers! John.

How's this?

From a 1924 issue of "The Slipstream Magazine," whatever that was. The photo may even date to '22, from info on the site I grabbed it from.

Thumbs up Sliding Hangar Doors

Thanks Eric for the interesting website.I too like the sliding door concept but the problem is those door storage racks on either side of the hangar adds a lot of width to the overall size of the diorama.
I will contact the museum and see what they think.
A certain amount of space will have to be left around the diorama so that it doesnt looked cramped in a plexiglass box.The storage racks in the picture look good as they are not too massive and are of open structure.
Now I will try to get some info on how the rails for the sliding doors were made.If need be I will travel to an old RCAF airfield and see what I can find.
Cheers! John.

Wink New pics

Thanks Ross! Everything looks OK to me.

The rafters have been removed for a better view of the workshop.
The Deuse classic car has been posted for antiqueing reference.
The rest is pretty much self explanitory.
Cheers! John.

Cool Odds and Ends

I think that the Red Indian Aviation Gasoline looks a little small. I will go to the copy store and have it enlarged two or three times and keep the small one for the hangar siding.
Next step will be to finish the R/H side of the hangar roof and all the doors and windows.
Adding sound may be more problems than I thought and maybe a little expensive.I will contact the museum for ideas and some help with this.I will require an endless tape kind of arrangement that plays over and over.I will somehow have to download and edit the movie sound track to tape.
I plan to still wire the hangar for lighting using the low voltage transformer method and simplify the bulb changing method.
Lots of fun and games.Cheers! John.
