   A quick search of the net should bring up a few results. Off the top of my head, Graham Farish does or did one as a ready to plant resin building. Piko, & possibly the likes of Faller or Noch worth checking out amongst others. Also worth a shot at having a go at scratch building one.

     Hi Iain, I was in “Yorkshire” mode when I saw the prices of prebuilt ones 🙂 Now I do like the idea of a scratchbuild I was a little concerned about truss work and steps etc but then I remembered the plastruct range which at first glance seems to cover those concerns. A project now the evenings are drawing in 🙂

       Hi Chris, I think if you combo some of the Pastruct range, with some of the texture sheets will make for a brilliant scratch build project. If you can, post your project in the club here as I think it’ll be a great inspiration for the members & admin team. 🙂

         Hi Iain, I have learnt a lot about gasometers in my lunch hour :)) I think you are right it will make a great project. Yes I will post it in the club as I go along … warts and all. I had a scroll through all the texture sheets for all scales but couldn’t find a “metal / rusty” one can you point me in the right direction please 🙂 Chris
