I just wanted to show that I have actually been working on something. My club built a steel mill extension to the layout this summer. I was lucky enough to be asked to build the blast furnace. I can honestly say that this may be the worst collection of plastic bits there ever was. Not many of the parts fit and several where warped so bad I had to boil and reshape them. I was honored that they asked me to do it. Here are a few pics of it. I'm sure others may have built this gem in the past. So for now it is no more plastic for awhile. Oh, unless it is a Jordan. Those are fun.

Wow, nice start. Can't wait to see it installed. I've always wanted to build one of those kits. Nice modeling D. Thanx Thom...
Thanks Thom, I will post some pictures of the completed scene once it is in. I built the high line for the layout already and that is installed. I haven't seen it yet though.

You did a great job on this kit. I found your comments about plastic kits interesting. About 15 years ago I built my last plastic kit for the same reasons.
WOW! All I can say is WOW Dustin. I've seen a few of these built up this way, but none as nice as this. Great Job!
Nicely done Dustin..... 8)
Hey Dustin,
Is this part of your "Twin Mills" project you were working on??
Thanks for sharing...
Alan
A nice job Dustin. I also have never been attracted to anything plastic, and not to blast furnaces either. It looks like you made the parts fit pretty well. Anybody who can build a Jordan like you do should be able to handle a blast furnace!
Thanks guys. I appreciate all the kind compliments.
I made a trip out to the club today to drop off the plastic pyramid. I will admit the club members were pretty excited to see it go in place. As for now my contribution to the steel facility are complete.
Here are a few pics I snapped when it was set in place. Now its time to do some real modeling.
