"Main Frame Anchor Bolts" Currently, you have the main pump frame base plate bolted down by 8 bolts then the wooden display border....would you consider a larger footprint display board with a 1" plus wide [on each of 4 sides] natural coloured fine concrete floor around the complete display base?All of the photographs display the concrete floor as the same grey tone as the pump & associated Could look the part DerekPS.....just found plain Brickwork floor in some images..... The plate bolted to the wood is representing the concrete floor, at least a portion of it. Had to draw the line somewhere, or I could have wound up having to make the whole building. Didn't want to make five engines, so didn't do that!! Where is the brick floor? Too settled in the recliner to go look on the main PC!
OK....understood.....

There appears to be a bricked in floor area [in yellow] immediately up to the actual Plinth of the unit......[Plinth = Base] Derek
Wow, Chris! This is an amazing build! Love the big printed pipe chunks! And the support frame forest In that last picture you just posted, does it show THREE bolt heads in the end of that support? Or is that lump in the middle something else?Kim
So the 16 x Main Frame Anchor Bolts are just as such...holding down bolts, not any form of alignment tool........those lumps do this "Or is that lump in the middle something else"?.......mmmm.... the head of a taper dowel pin? We also see, low angled [low flow] concrete open ditch 'green slime' water drains .... which were absolutely common place in all machinery plant floor structuresDerek
All OK, & agreed Chris......our job is to sit down & get on with watching the build ...Derek
