I’ve started building out my layout and one of the core industries will be modeled after the Taiheiyo Fujiwara Cement Plant.
One of the more interesting parts of this plant to model is the rotary kiln so it’s where I started and I’ll work outward from there.
I looked up tons of reference pics and created a 3D version, printed and then painted it. It’s designed to fit a stepper motor on one end to slowly rotate the drum.
