I have been trying to build this thing for weeks now. Just haven’t had the time. I am going to add a 4 X 8 addition to the layout feathering a complete roundhouse that’s almost 6’ across. I added some light weathering along with some Campbell Corragated Aluminum for the roof. The other side is not done yet. It will be heavely weathered. I am also adding some vines growing up the sides of the tower. It will look better when it’s done.

Mike,

It’s looking really good so far. Don’t sweat the speed of your progress. Take your time and do it right.

It took me nearly 100 hours just to put together my small Suncoast Fairbanks-Morse Concrete coaling tower. (And I haven’t even weathered it yet.)

I did install real lighting on the outside. That was a job in itself.
