    Hello,
    So this is my project in 0n30.
    I have available a space of 4m x 1.20 m in order to do something, and I decided on this scale.
    The layout I have raised in 3 1 / 2 levels. One underground and hidden, another as a basis for layout, another double-height, and other one intermediate.

    Level -1

    It's always amazing to see the transition from bare lumber, when we have a hard time visualizing intentions, to seeing scenery. Quite a change!

    Nice work! It's nice to see a new layout unfolding. Is this in an apartment?

    It "growing" nicely. I like the timber retaining wall. How did you make it?

    Hello.!
    Well, here a new update.
    At last, I decided to cut all these trees. They seemed very unreal. Quite ugly.
    To not be thinking about the trees, I decided to continue with the construction of some buildings.
    Its a small part of the mining complex that I'm trying to build.

    Nice. It's going to look like that structure has seen a lot of years in use.

    This building is part of the shat #2 entrance.

    Perspective view.

    Still need to put the roof of the building from the entrance to pit, and how a lot of
    details. (smoke stacks, doors and windows, and many more.)
    At least you can see something now.
    Hope you like it.
    Regards,

    Xavier

    The rusty corrugated siding looks great. What did you use to simulate that appearance?

    Hi!,
    the roof of the shaft 2 is at place. And some more details to.
    The rusty is just painted and drybrushed with acrylics

    That is coming along very nicely. I really like the pics of the shaft heads. The lighting is really good on those. I also like the feel of this building. I've seen many mining buildings that started off as small shacks and would grow as the mine produced more. Old miners are a bit finicky. They would never tear down the old building, they just added to it. They weren't always the straightest structures but I always liked them.

    They did this with their homes too. I had a friend who bought a very strange house in Georgetown, CO. As she researched the history of the house, she discovered that it was made from three different miner's shacks. One miner bought the shacks from two other failed miners. He put them on skids and drug them to his shack. He incorporated them into his shack. It was pretty neat to know the history. Unfortunately the house wasn't very functional though.

    Thank you Eric,
    you have reason. I'm inspired by pics I been saw about how to the miners, grows their shacks into almost villages.
    Also, some miner complex grows with the same system. Never knock down something useful.

    Hello,
    just another update of my project in 0n30

    [​IMG]
    This is a small structure is a loading dock, with the both longest sides open.

    [​IMG]
    In this other building, I've put the roof shingles. Need to install the top angle.

    This picture shows the area "new" in the mining complex.

    Well, that's all for today.
