When I put together this industrial building a few years ago, my idea at that time was for it to represent some random industry that had closed down and been left abandoned. To try to make it look that way, I broke all the window panes out of it (something like 2200 individual panes in total).
It's made up of parts from three of the Walther's "Roberts Printing" kits
Anyway, it didn't take long for me to start thinking back then that it was kind of a waste to not use a spur that could be used to create boxcar traffic in and out. And so, I began telling myself that maybe just the main floor could be somebody's warehouse and then I'd be able to rotate box cars in and out. So then I covered over the first floor window sections with "steel" siding.
That was a few years ago, and I've decided recently to somewhat change up the appearance of the building by covering over all of the windows with siding that I cut from Evergreen styrene. I test fit each piece as I went along. There were a few that I had to file a bit to get them to fit into the window recesses. I honestly don't know what the Evergreen part number is that I used. I painted the "steel panels" with Krylon Camo Brown spray paint and simply press fitted each one into place.
So here's a few looks at what kept me occupied this week...
