Coke ovens

I decided to take a break from working on trackage and wiring to build the Walthers coke oven kit.  Since Walthers doesn't give you any advice on how to paint these buildings, I just go as close as I can to the picture on the box.  I've found that using Rustoleum flat spray paints is a good way to cover a lot of plastic for not a lot of money.  Combined with the aged concrete paint I've been using, I like how it looks so far.  I bought this figuring that a steel mill complex probably needs a coke oven if possible, I wasn't sure where or how it would fit but I'll fit in what I can how I can.  I should be able to spot a few hoppers next to it but it's not meant to be one of the signature pieces. 

I figure at this point if I made it through the Walthers blast furnace kit, and two of those bascule bridge kits, most anything else is probably a breeze.
