Steel frames for benchwork are in place. I’ve noted general locations.
Benchwork is progressing. Next up is to determine lighting and install backdrop.
Primed backdrop, homasote base, and lighting.
A view looking towards the Rock River crossing.
Black curtains will eventually hide the storage areas under fascia. I will paint areas under the valance white to reflect light.
Looking from the Rock Island end.
I originally installed troffer lights which fit perfect within valance and used 5,000K daylight tubes.
After using the 5,000K troffers for some time, I decided I wanted dimmable LEDs in a warmer 4,000K light.
I also installed dimmable blue LEDs for night ops. The dimmable quality allows simulation of a moon-lit or dark night.

That’s a very neat finish that I’m hoping to emulate!

Very nice – is that Masonite/hard board you are using for the fascia?

Hi Brad,
The fascia and valance are made from SurePly. http://www.patriottimber.com/sureply-underlayment/
It’s thin plywood that handles very nicely.
