This weekend I begun benchwork construction. I’m following the design ideas from “How to Build Model Railrowad Benchwork” by Linn H. Westcott.
This will be primarily a “L-Lattice” open framework mostly attached to the wall (see 3D Model). Minimal attachments to the wall are ideal. I started putting up 6 foot pilasters (2″x2″) attached to studs every 3 studs with 5 3 1/2 ”
First step shown with Pilasters attached to the walls. Ideally nothing else will attach to the walls after this point, including backgrounds, or brackets for upper decks or lighting.
