Making a 1:24th Scale Ladder
The madness continues in the form of a ladder.
Again, the Web is a grand source for information for obscure facts such as: "temporary ladders on construction sites".
Why spend money on a ladder when you can build one "on site" with scrap wood already at hand?
The only lumber needed would be 2 pieces of 2"x4" cut to the desired length for the SIDE RAILS.
The TREADS would be 2" x 3"s at 20 inches long.
And the Spacers are 2" x 2"s at 9 inches long.
And so with my scaled basswood I made my own ladder for the diorama.
Creating a jig, to keep everything lined up, was essential along with a 90 degree metal angle, to keep everything square.
It's difficult to see it in the photo, but to make sure the work surface is flat, I use a piece of glass to work on.
Wood glue is the glue of choice.
A few hours later, Ta Da! a ladder for the diorama.
