Semroc Little Joe II Part 16 Tower


Here's the tower sides, all four glued together.

One thing I learned after the tower sides were glued - every other "Z" diagonal brace side should be reversed as shown in this drawing. (Click on the drawing for an enlargement)
The "Z"s on my tower all face the same direction. Most people wouldn't even notice.



It's only after I looked at some scale drawings that I noticed the change in the "Z" diagonal bars.
The tower viewed from the back shows some of the gluing.
When first gluing the tower sides together, I don't use much glue. This way it's easier to make some adjustments if things aren't right. If all placement is good, I do heavier gluing like shown in the picture.
