N-scale architect Wharton Iron becomes a grain elevator.

Started weathering by using a small drill , scraping it along the underside of the boards.



A darker wash of A&I for the underside , and then another wash of A&I for the total structure.



Using green and gray powders to give it the worn wood look.




And completed by a dry brush with light gray acrylic paint.

Started on the roof bases, this is my way of holding down sloped roofs using weights and plastic bags filled with ballast.


Some of the roofs installed, lots of angles and shapes.


Huge door for trucks, huge as in 3 cm's wide and 4 cm's high.
