Woodchip Storage Area - Concrete Walls...

Moving along, the remainder of today sees the construction of the concrete walls for the wood chip storage.

These are 20’ high in HO scale, they’ll be wrapped in a concrete texture simulating poured concrete sections using timber moulds, the saw dust I’ll collect from the workshop floor & form at a later date.  The base structure is 8mm - 5/16" MDF board.

The Woodchip concrete storage walls take shape quickly, think I might have to slightly readjust the scale for HO, and make the sections smaller...?

I’ll add some steel styrene I - beams to the upright sections to add some more 3D depth to the walls at a later date.


This method just makes scenery & structures go so much quicker & easier!

  1. I don't know what this "concrete texture" material is, but this looks great!

  2. It's a printed photo Jim, it can be applied over gaming textures, models, etc. You just print them out on matte sticker sheets and you're away...
