The next part I have to replicate is this area of silos. Suggestions on ways to build the silos are welcome.

The actual silos could be built with blue 1x2 bricks stacked on top of each other and bent into a circle shape. I'm not sure what diameter a cylinder you'd get from that, but it's a possibility.

Wonderful layout. Judging by the cobblestone brickwork im guessing you also found copious amounts of 1x1 round tiles in pick a brick. I've got 100's of them now.

I'm most intrigued by the crane. Do you have any intention of motorizing the winch and turntable inside? It looks like you would have enough space to fit a battery box, receiver, and motor in the grey box section. You might have to use some clever gear work to get everything functional. I'm not 100% sure about how possible it is to make the entire crane move on rails though. If you were willing to make a few visual sacrifices you could power the wheels with a pulley. I wouldn't be skilled enough to make it all work but its worth thinking about.

Hopefully yes I will get it along to Brickmania when its all done.

Motorizing the crane is an option I'm considering for later down the track. Also looking at working lights to add to the setup.

Update time again. The first of the cement silos is now almost finished. Very parts heavy on the interior to get the curve right. Still waiting on more Bricklink orders to arrive. Some are being a bit slow :cry_sad:

Wow! That's a real beauty!

Really great michaelozzie! Your wallet might not be pleased with it though ;) Maybe you could later add some humor to make it even more vivid!!! Although I saw in the rules of BeLUG that humor was forbidden (with a long list of other things including religion and spirits/beer).

Fortunately my wife has the largest LEGO buildings (large technic and modular haha :)), but the principle sounds very familiar to a lot of us I think.

Absolutely sensational! Thank you for providing updates, it has been inspiring to see this grow. The thing I like most about this build is the colour palette. You have kept it industrial and functional, yet have worked in some beautiful blues and yellows that offset the paving. Great work.

If you are going to impose on the bedroom, I can recommend from experience investing in a two fold room divider to block the line-of-sight. It makes for a much happier room and is easy to move when you need to access the bricks.
