Alan I am looking forward to seeing this project .

Still battling along with the Steel mill.

Roo.

Here are some progress pictures. I decided to start the second section of this diorama. This section will be a small generating plant. I was able to get a little more room off of the layout for this section.

I decided to kitbash this building using Korber round house parts and the front of JLC Manufacturing. I had these parts laying around for a long time and I think I finally found a very good use for them. I created a blank wall from styrene for the back of the building since it will face a wall. I will still add Plastruct brick sheet to the back of the building. A cone roof storage tank at 5 inches in diameter and 7 inches tall is placed at the far left.  There will be two stacks on the roof along with a horizontal steam drum. I am not sure weather I will set the three transformers on the roof or on the ground near the storage tank. There will also be a perimeter fence.

Interesting shape for the power house.

Here are some more pictures of the power plant building. I decided to put the transformers on the roof. There will be a single large stack with a platform near the top. If this rainy weather keeps up today, I may have this building completed this afternoon.

Round transformers! I like them.

Your work is amazing, Alan, really!

Unbelievable!  I wish I had the modelling talent you have in just one of your fingers.

You'll need the thumb as well, Joe. 

I started on the refinery /terminal section. The first structure constructed is the furnace. It will receive the oil from the crude tank and heat it up before it goes into the distillation tower. Typically, furnaces are painted all black.

I predict a new triumph, Allan. 

Alan. Your work is amazing. 

Here are some pictures of the furnace set in place, and the construction of the flare and distillation tower.

Max,, Joe, Dave,

Thank you for your nice comments.

Alan Graziano

All it needs is a space shuttle, Alan. 

You are unbelievable!! Your work and ideas are amazing, great job as usual. I always look forward to seeing your projects especially (in progress).
