If you are. A project I am working on may help you with some of the details. The Southbury, Connecticut, Public Library is constructing a new building. I am their official photographer, so I am able to have free run of the site. Many of my pictures show construction detail, as well as overall shots. I also am trying to show the construction workers doing their job. I invite you to have a look at my pictures. My hope is that what I show can help with the details of your modeling project. I will be adding new pictures almost every week until the progect completes sometime late next summer. Here us the URL for the pictures: http://peirce.fotki.com/southbury_connecticut/southbury_public_library/new_library_construction/ [ 18. December 2004, 20:13: Message edited by: Peirce ]
I changed the title on this and am now bringing it back to the top. The original title didn't attract much attention. And, to tease you a bit, here is one detail shot.
OK. This shows a little more of where the columns and girders come together. They lifted all that steel using only the single cable you see in this picture. Below is a beam being lifted into place. This picture also demonstrates another important factor in both photography and model railroading. Including a human figure in the scene gives the viewer a better sense of relative size.
