Step 20
Glued the Slag Runer Roof to the supports and the last part of the Furnace Room wall was added.
Step 21
Glued the 2nd level Cast House walls. I also added the 2nd level Cast House Roof Supports and the end Cast House wall.
Step 22
Glued 2 of the Cast House roof pieces onto the Cast House Roof Trusses
Step 23
Glued the remaining Cast House Roof sheets in place. The Cast House is now done. Next will be putting the Furnace on the foundation in the Main Furnace Room and the Furnace Room roof.
Step 24
Glued the Furnace in place on the foundation of the 2nd floor Furnace room. And also one fo the Furnace Room Roof sheets was glued in place.
Step 25
Glued the other Furnace Room Roof sheet on.
The Furnace and Cast House part of the Blast Furnace Building are now complete (exept for attaching the pipe at the top of the furnace and the conveyor that goes to the top of the furnace. That is later.)
Here are some pics of the Furnace and Cast Room. Keep in mind that this whole building will get a coat of black wash and rust stains all over the roofs, tanks and pipes. This is WAY TO SHINNY for a blast furnace and is just the "undercoat"!! LOL
Step 26
Started building the next part of the Blast Furnace.
The Gas Main Supports were put in place, Elevator assembled and glued in place, the Stack Risers, Stack Breach, and the Lower Stack were assembled and glued in place. The Upper Stack was also assembled and glued in place. The foundation was also painted grey for concrete and the rest painted rust brown to match the furnace.
Step 27
Next, the Hot Blast Main Supports were gluedin place. The Clean Gas Main and the Clean Gas Feed were glued in place on the Supports.
Step 28
Glued the 3 Stoves into place on the foundation and Lower and Upper Stove Valves were also glued to the Stoves along with the Burners and Burners Feed Pipes.
Next, the walkway will go ontop of the stoves and the Hot Blast Main will go on the top of the Supports and connected to the Stoves.
Step 29
Glued the Precipitator tank together and connected the Precipitator Pipe to the Precipitator and the Gas Pipe. Also added the supports and glued to the foundation. Also glued the Platform Walkway to the top of the Stoves and connected it to the Elevator.
Step 30
Glued the Gas Washer Tank together and the Gas Washer Pipe to the Gas Washer and the Precipitator Tank. Glued the Washer Valve and the Washer Valve Wheel to the bottom of the Gas Washer and also glued the supports for the Gas Washer to the foundation.
Step 31
Glued the yellow railings to the Stove Platfom.
Step 32
Glued the Gas Collector Tank together and the Gas Collector Pipe. Glued the Gas Collector Pipe to the Gas Washer and the Gas Collector. Glued the Gas Connector Supports to the Gas Collector and to the foundation.
Step 33
I decided that I should do the first step in weathering the building while I could still reach it easily. This is the black wash step, I will use chalks and create rust marks on the sheeting. The whole building will get a coat of the black wash.
Step 34
The pics show the overall view of the building. The Furnace Building and the Stove Area are now glued together and the platform for the second elevator opening is now connected to the Furnace.
Step 35
Glued the Pipe connecting from the top of the Furnace to the Gas Collector.
Step 36
Glued the yellow Railings in place on the upper Elevator Platform. I have to touch up the side of the Elevator. This part of the Blast Furnace is now complete. Next will be the conveyor to the top of the Furnace and the Bridge for the hopper cars to drive over.
