Another Curved Cliff - Part 1

Here is the last cliff hole.  Because the module on the right also extended well beyond the back, it had to be rebuilt.  That is what this post and the ones that follow are all about.  Another curved cliff needs to be built.  This one though will not have a 45 degree turn in it.  It will use the the set of wedge plates that are 3 x 2 (p/n 43722/437323) and those that are compatible with this angle (6 x 3 p/n 54383/54384 and 8 x 3 p/n 50304/50305).  Lining these up is a challenge, especially across multiple modules. 

This is the new base for the cliff sections.  I have lowered the backside to make it easier to connect the hanger areas.  This was raised to allow for the old style controllers that did not fit in the base. Now that all modules are converted to self contained controllers, I dont need this space and connecting up the hangers is now the priority. On the left you can see the angle connection.

Here it is in place.  This is still a prototype build.  I need to understand where all the "crash points" are and any that might be potential "crash points".

A more complete cliff base.  This has the cliff base supports for the flooring that will come later.  Also the left side is connected.  This side is not permanently attached, but uses a technic brick and pins to hold it in place.  This is required so the module will fit in the transport container.

Here it is in place.

Next is to build the cliff base that is to the right of this.
