MOTM

I finally got one of my final cases filled with MOTM modules.  There is a 
preliminary picture at the following url:

Module separaters:

(1)  I finally ended up using 3/32" width tape made by Carl Goldberg Models, 
Inc.  They have different widths but 3/32" is perfect.  It is normally used 
for gliders and remote control airplanes and is a kind of rubbery and 
stretchy compared to that charting tape found in office supply stores.

(2)  For those of you who are still thinking of using Plastruct, I finally 
found the H-beams that match the size of the wooden ones I bought, 3/16".  
They were in white in this store as opposed to dark grey like in the other 
store.  The problem is that channels are tapered, so they can't be pressed 
all of the way down on the module edge, thus pushing the modules even further 
apart than the "bass wood" beams I had previously bought.  Perhaps this is 
not important to those with wooden rails anyway, but it just means that any 
rows of modules that contain different numbers of 1U modules from each other 
with get skewed with the other rows to a more exaggerated extreme (the reason 
I dropped the wood or plastic spacer idea in the first place).  Perhaps 
grinding out the channels with a Dremel would help. Going to the next bigger 
Plastruct size will probably be too loose.
