Almost done! Sugar Beet Refinery...Last pics

Final pictures before the instructions are finished. Concrete on brick version, Module #1 and Module #2 attached, along with brick smokestack.



Industry name can be engraved in 'tower' and optional plugs and freight doors can be installed in the front:





160' (12") tall smokestack with high definition brick.





Almost ready! Just finishing up the instructions...I've really worked on making this module easy to build:

I would be interested in everyone's opinion: I am offering two types of roofing...shingles and ribbed aluminum. Do you think there would be interest in a corrugated metal option?

More so than shingles, I would bet.

I would be OK with the ribbed aluminum.
The corrugations across such a large roof would look to "busy" for me, but that is of course only my personal taste...

Do you plan to offer the third building?
I am holding my purchase as I want to build the whole thing (in concrete).

Cheers

While I have no stake in this I have to agree.  How about using whatever was used on the original building?  In the other thread a prototype model was shown with ribbed metal roof. That looked very good.

For me, my first choice would be ribbed, then I would choose corrugated metal before shingles for something this size.

I can't wait to get started  :D

Well, its funny you say that. The original had green shingles. But look at these pictures. The "third" building has what looks to me to be half shingles (almost completely gone now) and half corrugation. I'm guessing at some point it was all shingles. Sounds like I should just include the option. The prototype roofing seems to be most peoples' least favorite!

Ha! It's ironic that it was your idea to split it up into modules. :D Yes, I will offer that one too. Its a very simple structure so shouldn't take too long to develop. I already have the drawings done.

For kicks and giggles, here is a cool painting I found:
