Now that the ballasting is done, I've turned my attention to structures.
I have started on the corn syrup industry, for which I used parts of a Pikestuff kit. (the 2 stall engine house).
The space on the module is a bit too tight to use the full width and length of the building, so I reduced the width by about 1", and the length by half.
As Pikestuff is very recognisable with their blue and white colours, I painted mine using artist acrylics. A couple of fades on the walls to start with, and a solid grey colour on the roof. A lot more still needs doing, but the basic idea is here.
Next to the building I'll be modeling some syrup silos etc, and of course piping etc for the unloading facility. The view below is from the rear, with the unloading spur in the background.
