Steel Mill WIP

Recommended Posts

Hello Eurobrickers.

Well I thought I might share with you here progress of a new project currently underway. This is the first installment of a Steel Mill for my trains to operate around. At present the building externals are still WIP but while waiting to get some bricklink orders in, I have begun creating some internal features. Here we have a Hot steel rolling production line. This is where steel plates are heated and rolled thinner before being treated or coated and then coiled before transportation to other industries. I will endeavor to update this topic with new builds as things progress along.

Thanks.

Reheating furnace has a bit of lighting for the heat inside.

I really like all the details and tightness of the build. The light in the furnace is a great effect!

Looking pretty impressive so far. Love how you have done the reheating furnace with the light making it look like a molten strip of steel coming out.

This looks brilliant already! Are you going to add some other working features, such as motorised rollers or a crane or something? I feel they would really add to this mill. 
It's becoming another detail-packed build. Good luck!

For a while before I moved on to another welding job my job was to weld up the rollers that the metal hits to become a sheet of metal. This is an amazing model

I used to work for Acelormittal in Gent where I saw these operating. Nowadays I work for an Plastic Injection molding factory. 

 

Thanks all for the comments. Hope to show some new pictures soon of further progress.

Nice job, I love what you have done so far. Do you plan to build a Blast Furnace as part of your steel mill?

That lighting effect effect for the furnace is excellent!! I do like industrial scenes (all the pipes and machinery is just so cool!) and this is a great example. Looking forward to seeing how this one progresses!!

Nice work!
