Thought I'd try a quick build over the weekend, utilising a coffee tin which has the shape of a power station cooling tower.

Boshed it onto a simple base building, added nail decorations to the tower for lights.


Put a pile of greeblies on it. This is one of the exceptionally handy things about having casting kit, I can make as many greeblies as I want.


Got it primed, having masked the "lights" with masking fluid. Was hoping to get it finished in one w/e but having to wait for two lots of filling putty to cure slowed it down too much.


Now thinking about doing some better filling to tidy it up a bit, and painting it next w/e...

A good start.

Thanks...

I'd be the first to admit I've got carried away with this "quick-single-weekend-build". I liked it so far but thought with the chimney that big the building was a bit too small to be a power station or atmosphere processor. So I've added another floor, and magnetised it so the chimney section stays in place...

We manufacture those things dontcherknow

Lovely work.

Hah!

Thanks. It's getting there.

That's excellent, sometimes in the store I look at containers and wonder what they could be on the table.

Looking good so far, hope to see the final product

Thanks guys, I will update until the end!

My domestic goddess picked this up for me and came home with the words "I've bought a tin of coffee and you'll really like the tin..." I am a lucky man.

Finally had a chance to do some more on this...

There's two big exhausts to go on the blank space bottom right, but they need to be primed before being attached.


Similarly, there's a landing pad to go on the bottom right, but that needs a fair bit of painting before attaching, it'd be a nightmare to do when it's on.
