here they are, WIP's of my silo. priming and painting to come.
C&C welcome.

Looks nice and old school. Looking forward to seeing it painted.

Looking pretty good!

Are you going to be painting the areas that you joined the pipes to the silo like they are leaking or as if there is chemical build-up around the fittings? If not, then you'll probably want to clean those up a bit as they'll look a little odd otherwise.

Looking good.

How about adding ladders to allow models to climb up on top as a vantage point?

You can buy caged ladders in 1:50 scale online.

I'm thinking it might be good to connect them to a pipeline [maybe the prothemion pipes from SA]

Awesome!!!!!

Can't wait to see more, thanks for sharing.

Thanks alot for the comments, it really gives incentive to keep up the work

these pics were taking while the glue was still wet, and it shows alot more. It is just common wood glue, and as it dries, it shriks in somewhat, and becomes less noticable. I was originally thinking of painting these joints a lighter mettalic, like rought welding, but your idea sounds alot cooler, so i might just paint some glossy vicous green liquid colour

cool idea, i think i'll look into that

as I'm not home for the christmas vacation, so it's probably going to take a couple of days before this bad boy get's painted up, but stay tuned for updates.
