Part 1 - Tractory Factory
I haven't gotten much done in the last 3 months! But I did recently start on a kitbashed factory. I'm starting with a Bergen National Sugar Beet Refinery Building #2 kit. I'm slicing the model in half and laying out the front and back side-by-side. I'm plugging up some of the 1st floor windows and I am replacing the remaining 1st floor windows with freight doors. Here it is barely started. I have a lot of work to go and a lot of interior detail to create as I plan to have most of the freight doors be open.

Wow, it's been almost 6 months since I've had any time to work on the layout! But I did manage to get a little more done on the kitbashed factory. Although they do not show in the photo very well, I have added loading dock floors behind all the open doors and I have added the end walls and interior bracing. Unfortunately I did not include enough bracing on the 1st go round which required multiple attempts to remove the warping. I think I finally got it "mostly" flat again now.

I managed to get a little more done on the kitbashed factory. I added all the freight doors, the stenciling on the smokestack and started some of the interior details.

Part 4 - Tractory Factory
Slow progress on the kitbashed factory. I added all the roof and dock. I still have a lot of interior details to add along with interior and exterior lighting and the clerestory.

Part 5 - Tractory Factory
More slow progress on the kitbashed factory. The clerestory is now done and even though you can't see it yet, the windows have been painted. I still have all of interior details to add along with interior and exterior lighting.

Part 6 - Tractory Factory
More slow progress on the kitbashed factory. Lighting is done and most of the interior details are finished. Still need to add the background images for bay 4 and the large door. Also need to add the base and surrounding scenery.
