Just a short progress report. I thought finishing up would be a snap, but I screwed up on the paint job and had to completely tear apart most of the tanks and structures to strip and repaint. I also had a few of the bases buckle on me and had to replace them. I'm still working on kitbashing an office for the facility.
Here is a preliminary layout. I will use the foamboard as a base, leaving the black for blacktop and adding the concrete and gravel where it needs to be. The idea there is to be able to do all that on the workbench, then move everything over to the layout. I'm not sure how that's going to work, but I still need to trim the foamboard before I start that. The biggest thing left for me to do is to make around 1,000 feet of chain link fencing. :o I still have a number of signs to place, I've got a few up already for the "Arizona Fuel Oil and Gas distributor"
