Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Biased turkey - 01-16-2009 I built a cardboard malt silo out of cardboard tubes covered with a thin layer of spackling compound. Could you please tell me if you prefer the "plain" silo ( pic 1 ) or the one with a conveyor structure ( pic 2 ). So far the conveyor structure is just a mockup. Any suggestion or improvement advise ? When it's finished I'll add a big "Canada Malting" sign Jacques Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - cnw1961 - 01-17-2009 I definitely prefer the one with the conveyor structure – looks much more interesting. Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Ralph - 01-17-2009 I'm with Kurt. The conveyor structure "makes" the scene. Ralph Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Sumpter250 - 01-17-2009 Well, this makes it "three for, and none opposed"......yeah, go with the conveyor structure. :mrgreen: Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Jesso - 01-17-2009 I concur with the above three opinions. Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - jmarksbery - 01-17-2009 Yepl, put it on Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Biased turkey - 01-17-2009 Thanks Kurt, Ralph, Sumpter250 ( No 1st name ) , Jesso and Jim for taking some of your valuable time to give your opinion. It looks like I have no other choice that to add the conveyor structure. My dream silos looks like that ( see picture ), but I have no other choice that to do an intensive geographic compression lol Jacques Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Catt - 01-22-2009 Definately put the headhouse up there it will help convey the idea they are silos (goo d looking ones by the way) . :mrgreen: Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - mooreway - 01-25-2009 I think it will look better with the conveyor structure also. James Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Biased turkey - 05-16-2009 I ( finally ) completed the silo. Thanks to all the members who sugested to add the conveyor structure. Here are some pics. Jacques Re: Silo, with or without conveyor structure ? - Trucklover - 05-16-2009 Nice work on the silo!!!
