Really nice - I have been following with the Instruction Book from this side!

I really the bright colorful appearance, which adds a lot to the model.

-----------------------

When it is completed what are you going to do with it? Store it? Display it? Donate it?

Thanks for the comments
@ Kevin - I keep all the models as properly stored as possible. Not surprisingly, space is a problem and I'll have to deal with it again quite soon. The aircraft showcase is completely crammed!

The “3D” piping is really nasty! Each section is modeled by a simple part, with no tabs. I added a rolled paper bit inside, to make sure the pipe is reasonably round and to get decent joints.
The joints are quite important because, to my surprise, many of them are designed to face up, instead of being hidden from view.

Piping looks quite good Ricardo. It adds convincing detail to the scene. Perhaps the joints are facing up to make inspection easier? Just a wild thought.

Or, imagine you are 1:300th of your normal self, and looking up at the overhead piping, would you see seams then?

About the pipes, I'd be surprised if they had longitudinal joints!...
Maybe Thomas could add a line about this subject

With today’s pictures, I complete the turbine building. The whole roof and some structure parts are detachable, in order to see the inside and allow access to remove the turbine covers.

Thanks, Fred and Dwyaneward

The administrative building would be simple without the recessed windows. The recessed window would be simple to assemble if the scale was not as small as 1/350!...
