My next project will be to build a small dynamite shed to adjoin this structure. After all, many mining projects require dynamite and it would be a really bad idea to store it in this building.

Mining supply company completed
The mining supply company is complete - unless I decide to add more details. I named it Diggers Mining Supply Company. The building walls are individual boards with scale 1x2" caps to cover the gaps between the boards. By using separate caps I can show them with gaps, breaks and loose boards. The roofs are corrugated metal rusted using paints and chalks.
In addition to the pillar crane, I added various detail parts to the platform including barrels, a cable spool, a scale, and a mine dump car. There are figures on both the main dock and rear platform.
I modeled the rear door open both for effect and to aid in seeing the interior.
This was an enjoyable project.
