Right now, I'm back again!
Today I have blackend the upper part of the tower under the roof top. I have used my daughters water based black school color. After this, I have added the roof, also black painted.
The next step was to built the "dog house" atop the coal elevator. I have used thin plywood (1 Millimeter or 0.039 inch thick). To cut the plywood I have used a simple big scissor.
OK, I have done the simple part, the difficult part to be build is the elevator tower made of brass. And most difficult and time consuming will be the spiral staircase. Each step will be cutted from plane brass sheet and soldered right in place between two brass stripe which will be look like a DNA string.
OK, that's enough for today! Look at the pictures and enjoy!
