Hi all.

 
Nothing important has been done these last few days. Just started to plan grain elevator, using the models I have available in Europe, that have to be "kitbashed", and perhaps I'll have to do some scratchbuilding as well.

I am using Faller 120260 to build the storage silos, with some kit bashing.

Today, at lunch time I done a elevator mock up w\ith paper.
 
Best wishes.

Great Start

Hi Luis,

That's a wonderful start on a grain elevator.

I have decals for Cargill, ADM, ConAgra and CO-Op if you need them.

This is going to be a

nice facility when you get it finished.  It should be fairly easy to tie the tops of all the silos together with one long conveyor belt.  http://www.grainelevatorphotos.com/whoweare.html   Bruce Selyem's hobby is collecting pictures of grain elevators.  Take a look at these to get ideas for all the detail pieces.  Definitely worth the time spent.
