Thanks to all for following along.
Gotta be honest with ya... hardly any of those pipes are set straight!
Not so much skill or patience at this point... but perseverance! Ugh. So far, about 80 hours has gone into the actual buildings, and another 80 on the towers. Never dreamed the this would be taking so long. Probably still another 80 hours left on the towers, and another 80 on finishing the rest of the facility. Motivation remains high, however!
Thank you kind Sir. One good thing about the coffee facility is that being almost 7 feet long, that's 7 feet of backdrop that doesn't have to be painted!
Taken separatley, each individual piece of the towers is really not that impressive. For example, on the screw conveyors, I could have put nut-bolt-washer castings along the lids. All kinds of other detail items could be added. I'm hoping that the sheer size and complexity of the facility will produce the illusion that I am looking for.... 3 foot rule!!!!!
