Working on the "Flour Mill" building

Been working on my Flour Mill building for the last week.
 
     I didn't want to have the "out of the box" look, I wanted a different look so here's the almost final look. I still need to do the weathering and a bit of scenery as it will be put in place with the scenery around the building done. I also did all my lighting for when it's night time on my layout.




Thanks for dropping by

Another section of the layout done

Latest update
    
     Just finished another section of the layout, basically, I finish everything where the framework was build. Against the wall will be my refinery section and where the framework ends is where the Vulcan Manufacturing will be.





     My wife still has her office downstairs and needs it till end of June for tax season, so building more framework will need to wait, but, I've got plenty else to do. For the next few weeks, I'll be working on things that don't show, such as preparing all my feeders for the track already installed (including soldering), installing lots of tortoises, preparing lots of 8 pin connectors for the tortoises (more soldering), preparing lots of terminal strips (no soldering) and working on lots of buildings.

Here's a picture of what my Flour Mill will look like (just a start)




     I went with the look of a concrete frame, finished with a brick facade, more picture as I get more done. Your comments are welcomed.

Update #2 video

Another update:

      I thought I was pretty much advance in my layout just by the looks of what has been done so far, but I then looked at the amount of track done versus total and found out that I only had 16% done. (146' of 920').

- Finished elevation work and track laying up to the refineries.
- Did some photoshop for my backdrop.
- Tested some RGB LED lights.
- Installed some overhangs to test the lights.
- And made this little video of my update
