Good afternoon,
I managed to get a good modelling session in last night and made a little more headway on the coaling plant.
First off, I finally found a photo on flickr here http://www.flickr.com/photos/40052043@N03/7720626360/in/photolist-cLfeeA which showed the top half of the Eastern face of the tower and once I had zoomed in on it, I managed to make out the two doorways that I thought were there on the middle and top sections. So, I then marked out the locations of these on the model and carefully cut out the apertures which was fairly straight forward. First off they were drilled out and then finished off with the craft knife and some careful filing. The middle section doorway was marked out a little too wide and high which shows on the following photo,
Next up were the ledges that support the stairs leading up to the top of the tower. These were made using various thicknesses of plasticard and plastic strip. There is now only the ledge to the top of the tower to do.
Here are a couple of photos of the ledges in place with the stairs also fixed into position. I was hoping to find some nice and finely etched stairs but after a long search online the only option that I could find were the plastruct stairs, which, in all due fairness, aren't too bad and once painted will look the part.
My plan is to spray the whole structure in a light grey/concrete colour and then pick out all the details and then weather using powders.
As always, any comments are most welcome.
Best regards,
Jeremy
