I'll move that the deadline be extended by 14 days to allow for full open house participation and completion of the contest.  Do I have a second?

Do you realize how much beer I'll have to drink if I take 14 days on this project?  I was going to just let David slide, and I'll take care of drinking his beers.  Everyone else, Sunday.  This shouldn't be brain science!

As you wish! I didn't have any yellow, so its now a Pan Am thingy (do we have a name for it yet?)
Hard to see because of the paint/lighitng but I have all the beams underneath the main deck. The ramps move 90ยบ utilizing a thin piece of cylindrical styrene and a couple MU covers. Yes the paint job is less than flattering, but I will redo that after I pick up some PScale Yellow, and styrene to replace the shoddily done ramps (the car siding I originally planned to use disappeared into one of several blackholes in my room... I'm on first, who's on second, and what's on third.

Very nice Plilip

Been thinking over the hinge thing . If the ramps and deck were plastic , some edge holes could be drilled and GM stanchions could be embedded on the edges . A rod would complete the hinge , and plastic to fill in the gaps between the deck and movable ramps .

Most of it is styrene, however I had to resort to card stock because none of my scrap styrene was thin enough for the ramps.

It should probably be treadplate, if I know my portable loading ramps...
