One of the distinguishing characteristics of the Rock Hill Cotton Factory is it's squared (not round) smokestack. So, here's a stab at making one to "resemble", not copy, that smokestack.
Oops, now I can't tell which is the REAL one and which is the model. . . . Well, it's not so hard to tell and the model photograph is not so hot, but it's getting there. Used the Clever Models Old Brick (Colonial Brick?) texture for the model smokestack. Interesting how the real smokestack is obviously from the old brick, unchanged. The renovated factory, itself, seems to have been painted or, at least, cleaned. Don't know if I should leave the model factory all shiney or try to weather/age it to match the smokestack.
Holding off on building the model factory until my [older] grandson shows up for a few days. Seems we may need some ramps, roofs, and such. Hope the factory kit has that -- I had planned on fabbing a boiler room, but wasn't thinking about the other details.
