The last week we had holidays. And i decided make my first scratch-weathered Structure. It´s a Water Tank made with one kit Rix, flexible wall from chooch enterprises, and many other things included staples, one piece of telephone card, chain and balsa wood, of course different kind of paints. Is not complete, i need add a ladder.But i like it. Here a photo of prototype and model.

Well i hope bring you good news in a couple of weeks

Best Regards

That is a rock solid water tank. Who says you can't squeeze water from a rock? I like that base it is really distinctive.

Hi!!

Thanks to everybody. This weekend i made a Diesel Tank Facility inspired in many other who were build in México. Well, here's a couple pictures of the prototypes.

Luis you have a really fantastic looking model there. I have one suggestion to give that last touch of realism. I would suggest you take a 1 inch paint brush and very lightly dry brush the stones with a medium gray to bring those piers a little life and take 1 drop of that same gray and add 20 to 30 drops of clean water to that one drop and mix it well then using an eye dropper let the thinned paint run down the out side of the stones and just leave it to dry.
