STEP 11: Preparing the Assembly Base

enough roomwhere the large conveyor meets the breaker for
the roof of the large conveyor to extend in under the breaker
roof. Once you are satisfied with the position of the conveyor
and tower, glue the tower to the base.
At this point I placed a small strip of .060 styrene on top of the
last two roof brackets at the conveyor end and let it extend
over the tower- see the photo above. Be sure that the con-
veyor is placed in the right location, both on the tower and at
the base. If it isn’t, the measurement for the height of the end
brackets will be incorrect.
For the end roof brackets, measure the distance from the
edge of the tower to the bottom of the piece of .060 styrene
and cut two pieces of 3/64” angle to this length. Glue them in
place as shown in the photo. Cut a piece of scale 2 x 6 to the
width between the two angles, glue it in place and paint the
angles and cross brace with the rust color used previously.
Now that this last piece of the roof bracing is in place, we can
measure the full length of the roof for the large conveyor.
