More work on Shore Fetilizers

I started on the delivery pits but I still need to install the pit screens between the tracks.



 I used pink foam to build the off loading area and used Tamiya deck tan and light grey for the paint job. I still need to paint the sides and do some weathering on it.

Shore Fertilizers update

I have done some more work to the tanker loading dock at Shore fertilizers.

 
The base and the hut are made from pink foam that has been cut into sheets that are 2mm thick and then scribed with a pencil. I use these sheets for a lot of my projects. I'll start work on the pipes next.

Construction update

I have been doing some work on Date City in the last week or two most of it has been power bus and feeder wires but there is also a mock up of the freight house on the team track.




Building silos

I have been doing some trials on the silos that need to be built for Shore Fertilizer in Date City and the acid tanks that have to be built for the phosphate plant at Knights.
The first step was to find the right PVC pipe.

This was after the pre shading.

 
I shot the first coat of light sea grey on with my airbrush.

 
 
And this is what it looked like after the second coat.
 


Here you can see the new silo next to the old mock-up's.
