Impressive!!! You do not need to spend that much on a grass applicator.  I got one from Grass Tech and i love the way it works and it was not even $40...  anyway, your grass looks great... you can always mix grass mats and static grass for a more natural look...  Congratulations!!!

Mendota, thanks for the confirmation that I got it right, The elevator I am building does not look like the ones here in Germany, so I have to rely solely on photos and Google Maps. The leg head platform will get a railing, but I still have to decide if I build it from styrene or brass wire.

Pablo, thank you for telling me about Grass Tech applicator. I will have a look at it.

You did a great job on your elevator. How did you build it?

Kurt

Yes give Grass Tech a look...  I works great...  For my elevator I used two sets of Walther´s corn storage silos, plus a Medusa cement kit, a couple of extra grain legs and a surge bin..  also parts from Rix and more Walther´s parts from my scrap box... I even tunneled thru one of the silos to create a loading spot for trailers.. for the scenery i used ground limestone, some good old woodland scenics ballast and grass tufts from Noch... i do not use an airbrush, I use spray cans and wheatering powders for the different effects around the structures

Good combination of kits. Makes a very goof looking elevator.

Kurt

Added railings to the top platform. I may add a safety cage ladder to the leg after painting – still have to decide if I really like the new ladder that I made for the side wall.

I really like the looks of this complex, Kurt.  It's simple yet has a lot of visual interest.

Thanks Rob. I looked at a lot of elevators before I decided to build this one, because it looks interesting and fits well on a narrow shelf layout … and it is fun to build.

I am almost through with painting the walls of the first structure – still a lot more to do.
