Monster Modelworks Yard Tower - Second annual Raymo Challenge 2018

[S&S RR]

Here is a picture after the painting was complete - I brush painted the primer making sure I worked the primer into the mortar joints.  This painting procedure took a while - the 3 D brick affect that Jimmy achieves with the layered construction technique is very nice but it does take some time and a few rounds of looking at things from different angles to get everything painted. I will be letting this dry over night and starting with the red brick paint tomorrow.

While the paint was drying I started assembling some of the interior details.  I started with the interlocking machine.

I'm going to be searching the internet tonight to see if I can find some good pictures of the interior of interlock towers. Does anyone have some pictures they would like to share?

You've probably already found these...

Wow thanks - you are quick.  I hadn't started looking yet - was over on my layout build thread posting and update and saw your post come up.  Thanks again - just what I'm looking for.

The last thing I would have expected to find in a interlocking tower is a computer terminal. I guess the two technologies did overlap.

This is what the forum is all about - please feel free to ask questions. Now, if I can just make the structure look like the test sample.

Thanks for stopping by the thread.  I've been painting brick the last couple of days. I have a couple progress photographs to post this evening.

So here is where I left off at the end of the day.  The brick is painted and now it's time to add the strips that will be the concrete ledges.

Here is a close-up of the brick - this is a zoom in on the top third of the structure brick only.
