Assembling the elevator

I recently purchased Walthers' Farmers Cooperative Rural Grain Elevator. Time to put it together. I am just assembling it for now—painting, weathering, and placement will be another day.

Doors and windows first. For the shed, I decided have two open on one side and two closed on another. No reason, I guess they will just not have a great cross-draft to air the place out.

The walls are up in seconds. Plastruct is the real deal. I picked up another bottle to go with this kit.

The roof and the vent. That was a lot simpler than the propane tank. Setting this aside for now.

The four main walls of the milk carton elevator. 

The upper walls.

And the roofing. The Plastruct isn't very friendly if you get it where you don't intend to. I will cover up that spot later on.

Here are the unloading shed and the scale house. Keeping all the doors open on this one.

There are a couple tiny accessories to add after I paint them, but this is it. Definitely the simplest of the kits I have put together so far.

This is where The Count lives. He will get a smokestack soon.
