Lite and Narrow Column - 7
I knew the shape of the building, searched online for one of
similar shape, and found Buck’s Dynamite Building by BTS, kit
#27455. The building is 28’ x 16’ and is the shape of the real
building. The kit is cast metal with a laser-cut paper roof. It
assembles quickly with most of the time needed for painting
in the details. I used Floquil Rust and Aged Concrete on the
structure. The roof was painted aged silver and then rusted
with Bragdon powders. The earthen bunkers were cut from
Styrofoam and covered with plaster cloth.
Fan house
Not included in the
Timber Transfer
article on the support
structures at the Jollar tipple was the fan house. The primary
reason for that was a lack of space on the diorama. Another
reason may have been the lack of photos of the building.

9. The powder house from a BTS kit. The roof has been
modified to represent a corrugated roof rather than the rib-
seam roof supplied with the kit. This building is very heavy,
as it is cast metal.
