making concrete buildings

Very nice job. I like that it is a panel building rather than something which is made from a single mold.
What is the ideal thinkness of the panels? Do you do anything to revent the wife mesh to sink to the bottom?

Can get away with 1" minimum thickness. To prevent the wire from sinking to the bottom I usually place concrete, vibrate into position then lay mesh on top and vibrate a little more until it disappear under the surface this is usually enough.

The thrill of the chase as you might say. It's a lot more fun thinking out the method and overcoming all the problems. That's what railway modeling is all about, in my book anyway.
