Aggregate Recycling and Cement Mixers

Managed to get some modelling done today on the Aggregate recycling Facility. The basic building consists of 3 major parts, the Main Building, the back section and the tanks as shown in the picture above. I'd made the basic buildings a while ago to get the size and fit along with the positioning established but had to make a couple of changes to get the building to look right and deal with the backscene. The buildings themselves are made from cereal box card, to get the feeling of the corrugation, not that obvious in the prototype pictures I've drawn on lines with a hard pencil. I've then painted over the top with some very thing green paint and rubbed off where I used too thick paint
In the prototype the wagon loading facility is at right angles but there isnt the depth on the layout for this so I've changed the angle to fit the back of the loading bay aligned with the backscene. The loading part is around 10mm deep and mounted of Foamboard to keep it light and give it something to attach to the base.
As the building crosses the join between two boards the buildings will be mounted on their own base so they can be carried separately and added to the layout when its set up. The chimney is also taller than the backscene so another reason to travel as a standalone module. The storage tanks are made from plastic tubing and the pipework from brass rod. Still need to paint these as they are only primed at the moment.
The final grouping includes the loading bay and eventually the conveyor, that will come later in the fine detailing phase but the hole in the buildings are already there.
Final Job of the day was to prime the multicoloured Cement mixers from Kato and Tomix (I think) ready for rebranding
