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.
