I am wondering what those of you that have modeled old elevators have used. Of the pics I included, I'm looking at the old weathered tin on these elevators. Also in the ethanol plant picture, how are you that do it modeling the large white smooth-steel tanks? In regard to the old elevators, One person I talked to uses corrugated cardboard (lined) and paints with gray and adds brown streaks for rust streaks but am wondering if there are any other methods out there. Thanks for any input-here's the pics: Old elevator: [img]http://images.snapfish.com/33%3B7797923232%7Ffp64%3Dot%3E2327%3D959%3D%3A35%3DXROQDF%3E23235%3C78%3B6944ot1lsi[/img] Old elevator on the left: [img]http://images.snapfish.com/33%3B7797923232%7Ffp63%3Dot%3E2327%3D959%3D%3A35%3DXROQDF%3E23235%3C78%3B6%3A%3C7ot1lsi[/img] ethanol plant-question on the large smooth-steel white tanks: [img] http://images.snapfish.com/33%3B7797923232%7Ffp64%3Dot%3E2327%3D959%3D%3A35%3DXROQDF%3E23235%3C78%3A%3B7%3A5ot1lsi[/img]
