Looks like a lot of thought went into this update. I enjoyed it. I love that kit. I have done a couple myself. They are far from perfect out of the box but still manage to bring the layout to life. Great work.

Don’t sell yourself short to those who look up to you!

For my Walthers silo kit in N scale, I used Tamiya gray spray primer followed by Glidden Max-Flex Earthy Cane. It gives a very convincing aged tank concrete effect! These Wlathers kits are so easy to build and paint!

Great story telling. I too just bought the same kit and I’m bashing it and making it my own. This was motivating me to paint and finish it.

Absolutely love having YOUR feedback on my video, thank you! I may be biased but your work is beyond superb and I think you'll make the silos kit sing and dance with your skills.

WOW that is very impressive! Flaws? Are you kidding! The warehouse came out perfect! I suck at gluing too, but your skills are better then mine :) part #26? I bet those are tiny parts :) The addition of the silo is a great addition, well done and cool weathering and colours. Combining Lance theme and your goal of adding interest and an appropriate structure I say you have succeeded! What you have accomplished is fantastic and it is very inviting to come over and do some switching at the plant. The dremel hahahahah I think we are all do the same thing. Great video, narration and story, funny too. Well done indeed.

This kind of feedback from a veteran in the hobby such as yourself is gracious and appreciated but let's be honest... undeserved. The quality and professionalism of your channel, your layout, your projects speak for themselves and are what inspires a newbie like me to experiment and try harder. Thank you for your support and encouragement!

Great video! Very entertaining. I can really relate. Loved it when you brought out the Dremel for some real precision work 😎. Don’t you love it when the ruler slips on your final pass of the knife 🤬. I have both of those books, and learned a lot from them. I have a scratch build video I need to edit and post. Wait till you see all the mistakes I made LOL. Take care!

@@SouthDown oh good idea, I will add that to the list. Thanks!

I like your video, a lot! I hope this is helpful, not critical. You can take a common, boring box of a structure and make it a center piece. It comes down to painting, and that means adding depth to your subject matter. On a large flat surface, start with pre-shading, then build up with multiple, THIN, layers. You can always add more paint. It is a good idea to have a photo of the real thing to use as a reference. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, is a pure single color. Concrete is not gray. Asphalt is not black. The sky is not just blue. Black is not black, but a combination of colors. BUY A COLOR WHEEL! Watch other KZread tutorials from military modelers on painting washes, pin washes, filters and dot filters. Experiment on scrap plastic. All of this is seems daunting, but it is really fun. Even the great modelers look back at their earlier models and shake their heads. Never stop building. Its about the journey. Enjoy it!

This is excellent advice. I will need to mention you in my next video and show how I’ve applied this.

I love your unique video style. Very entertaining. The structure looks great, but I’ll miss the chocolate, vanilla, and slurry spreads. Now you have to stop the directly in front of the bay doors. :)

The layout is 14 inches deep, which makes it really easy when I’m sitting on a stool to reach all the ground throws. Thanks for the kind feedback!

Slightly disappointed that your structure wasn't just gluing the three paint bottles to that piece of styrene. 🤣 Looks good, though.
