Work has resumed on our club layout and we are currently working on the cement plant. This is a huge undertaking we often postponed for every reasons imaginable. Fortunately, with our new Saturday morning schedule, we have more energy in making it a reality.
Last weekend, I was thus able to finish the detail work on the bagging plant, including roof support rods and fascia. A coat of camouflage color primer has been also added after I shoot the photos. Next step is to complete the superstructure (silos and conveyors) on the main building. Jérôme and Louis-Marie avec finishing the concrete pad and the roof, thus we will soon be able to add several details to finish this one too.
Meanwhile, I've been figuring out how the rest of the plant will be modelled. The most realistic approach is to treat the clinker building in the backdrop, just like we did in Clermont with Donohue. The foreground buildings such as the laboratories and the workshops will be modelled full scale with correct detailing. That, I believe, will greatly enhance the experience by providing the parking lot and places for trucks and machinery to get repaired. It will had a human element that was missing from this huge plant.
Meanwhile, when the small Rapido GE 44-tonner performance will be fully assessed, it will be repainted in Ciment St-Laurent colors.
