Figure 2F: I created the dock height adjustment plates from some safety tread material in my scrap box. I cut it to the same dimensions as used on the warehouse loading dock doors from the Walthers kit. These plates had a recessed space below them, so I cemented them to an appropriately sized strip of styrene. Once the cement had set, I trimmed the styrene/plate combos into individual units.
Figure 2G: Now I had to enlarge the existing openings to accommodate the dock plates. Fortunately I had not yet cemented the roll–up doors in place! This shot shows the finished openings.
