Finally I was able to get back to some modeling this past week. The Ensley Mixer project had been at a standstill for awhile - My original roller assembly was solid modeling, just not to scale - the rollers turned out to be too large. Disgusted with wasting the time I set this aside, but with construction on the Bessemer Plant underway, the mixer will soon be needed. So, I built the cast supports for the mixer using a variety of solid plastic and plastic strips. The webbing was punched out and holes filed to size. Roller assemblies were constructed of 1/4" tubing and solid styrene. Also, an elevated concrete foundation was built and the four access hatches were molded in resin.
Assembly photos to follow, but first a new product alert - Central Valley has come out with another type of girder assembly. As you have seen over the years, I love these products and this is just one more type to add to my structures.
