verticle ladder rungs

Post by modelman62 »

I'm a bit miffed here. When doing verticle ladders, where do you cut off the two side supports at?

Like where im pointing in the first pic, where do you cut that off at? and how do you measure it to be sure the two at one end are the exact same as the two at the other end?
Or do you cut it off as in pic 2.

I always cut as in the first picture then bend the two "legs" at 90 degrees so when I glue the ladder it sticks out from the side of the superstructure slightly.
