Refinery table ( 10)

Well this is pretty much how the tanks are going to look like, properly going to add some huge danger explosives signs on the side of the tanks, and of course rivets, rivets and more rivets.
So apart some green stuff filling and the above mentioned details the first tanks is complete.

I don't know weather or not I am happy with the look of the valve handle, but it gives a little more something to the plate, so I think I will stick with it.

I took 10mm of the legs and I think the result is much better, but I am going to keep the space under them open, so it is possible to draw LOS or maybe I am going to put something under there later.
I took some old tubing and used it to make some pipes that will connect to some kind underground pipe system.

As for the tanks them self there are going to be some strips of plastic card running over them for detail and some kind of hatch at the top so it is possible to look inside.

An other update tonight be for I head to bed.

I Have finished the bends and made them ready for moulding.
I used this opportunity to make an other mould, since it is not that more work to tow moulds, when you are making one. And as you can probably guess from the back ground, I am going to make a mould of some oil drums, since I am pretty sure I am going to use a lot of them in this project.

And here is the silicone rubber I am using, it is from Slymasta and is the 370 grade rubber. It is easy to work with a since it is really flexible allows for undercuts making it perfect for model replication. The keen observer might notice that there now are 3 mould, that is be cause I am not that good a estimating the amount of silicone need to make the mould, so I quickly found some other stuff I could use a mould of. It is going to be a 1 sided mould of some drums, to be used for sticking out of the ground ect.

And ps. don't say modelling isn't dangerous.
I cut my self trying to separate a drum from a old model, must have used a hole bottle of glue attaching it in the first place.

PPS.
having half you finger fixed is kinda crippling when modelling and writing.

Well just a small update for now, I have been pondering for some time now, how to make the pipe works for all my pieces as plastic tubes are hard to heat bend so it looks good. And I think I have come up with the answer.

Custom made pipe bends
I made these pipe bends using milliput, and the cut them to the correct lengths after they had hardened. And with the discs and some rivets I should with a little luck end up with something like this.
And them when I done I am going to make a silicone mould, so I can cast the in resin in the future, as is they turn out great I am going to be using a lot of them of this project.
