Hi! I'm New Here with a Small Layout

[ApartmentModelRRer]

Thanks Joseph - the photos of the area are very useful - The area I was specifically interested in possibly re-purposing is this piece and I wondered if the tanks were from a kit or scratched, and also the origin of the building, ie kit or scratched

Yes everything you see in the photo is scratchbuilt. Both tanks were done using .020 styrene sheet. On the blue tank I scribed panels line before gluing, the white tank I used .010x.030 styrene strips to make the ribs. The railings and ladders were leftovers from a kitbash.

The structure is made from .060 styrene sheet, the windows are Grandt Line.

   

   

The base is 13 inches long and 3 1/4 inches wide. The building is 12 1/2 inches long, with the cut out for the two tanks measuring 5 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.

   

Hope this helps with your build shortliner!
