Album: 12/31/2011 update

Looking west. To better fit the scene, the overall structure was shortened by two sections, leaving only eight windows instead of the prototype's ten. The roof vents were based on the prototype, with the #1 vent leaning to the west and the #3 vent missing its cap. They were built using the roof vents from Walthers grain bins, with added peaks, inserted into Grandt Line 55 gallon drums.

The roof is Evergreen corrugated siding on the east slope seen in this photo, painted Rustoleum High Heat Flat Aluminum and weathered with oils, while the west slope is just sheet styrene painted Floquil Grimy Black and weathered, representing the prototype's tarred surface there.
