Starting on the garage ... 10mm wide strips scored on an A4 sheet of 3mm styrene...

Lots more scoring & strips released...

... 2 more A4 sheets & there's a load of scale I-beams, RSJs, girders, whatever you want to call them ...

A bit of filling, sanding, cutting, more sanding & gluing later ...

I still have a couple more roof girders to put in, but you get the basic idea. Or maybe not, there's a long way to go yet :whistle:

A visit from Kitten Kong didn't help with the alignment ... Squareness & stiffness are improved with the walls, it's self supporting now & reasonably straight Attachments:
