Hudson Cement becomes Empire Grain

[Ralph]

The obvious problem with cardboard tubes is the unrealistic spiral pattern. I used short sections of 2 inch wide paper drywall tape to cover the tubes. This hides the spiral and also creates a series of lines that suggest successive pours of concrete to form the silos.



I've seen grain elevator silos with streaks originating at each pour level so I think it will be fun to weather these in that fashion later.

I'm getting the call to go fire up the grill for dinner time! I'll get back to this later. More to come!
