Weathering completed on the Chemical Transfer Facility...

Well today I added the last of the weathering to the unloading gantry, pipe work and vertical storage tanks.  I've decided that this enough as it works for me, and to spend anymore time on it is not going to finish the remainder of the L&T Branch...
The level of weathering is going to be my standard, and also the cut off.  To do anymore is not going to add much more realism or prototypical elements to the scene.  I've studied the photos over the last few hours and close up I'm happy, and they won't be viewed at the closeness when operating anyhow.
The only thing left to add is the windows for the brick storage building, some more signage on it, and maybe a floodlight (LED) or two over the loading dock.  Apart from that this is scene is done...

Enjoy the photos...
Pipe Unloading Gantry (Well used and not so shiny anymore)...
Vertical Storage Tanks...  In all their grimyness!
Looking down on top of the facility and the actual space used... (and yes the holes in the tanks are being filled).
My favourite shot of the Chemical Transfer Facility...
If I can get the time I'll post up a tutorial on some of the key elements that have helped create this scene, also on how I have achieved the look & weathering (although most is from this very forum!) too.

  3. This looks awesome. I am modeling similar scene with storage tanks and was searching for a background image when I found your site.
