Reis Concrete

[jmarksbery]

It's me again, I got 10 pictures to upload so please be patient.
I used everything I had in the scrap box to build this thing including: bic lighter parts, 3 AA batteries, clear plastic tube my twissers came in etc. It is a big business in a small space, it has it's own spur and the LPB's are to busy to be messin with a customer as a box car is coming in and they need to load it with concrete blocks to be moved out later today. I thought I would give you a walk around to have a look for yourself. So here we go!
The first is a overall view=

10th and last, the box car is in the hole and now the real work begans. I hope you enjoy viewing this as much as I did scratching the hell out of it. Feel free to comment or ask questions. I yes I have a rough plan for this. OH, as most of you know this is N-Scale. C U Later, Jim

Hi Jim,

You did a wonderful job on scratch building and your weathering is as good as it gets. Thanks for sharing. Ron :thumb:

Thanks folks, Dick, I use what is called rough cut brick sheet styrene, when you use an alc/india ink wash it just makes the brick pop out.

I'm still trying to find that lighter...

Fantastic, Jim! :thumb:
What did you use for the road?
I love the way it's all cracked!

Well done, JIM:thumb:

Anything lying around can be used for modeling if you put your mind to it.

A unique structure Jim. Very well made. Now about those batteries, I guess if they corrode then it will add to the look of them as rust stains and such.
