I built a cardboard malt silo out of cardboard tubes covered with a thin layer of spackling compound.
Could you please tell me if you prefer the "plain" silo ( pic 1 ) or the one with a conveyor structure ( pic 2 ).
So far the conveyor structure is just a mockup.
Any suggestion or improvement advise ?
When it's finished I'll add a big "Canada Malting" sign

I definitely prefer the one with the conveyor structure – looks much more interesting.

I'm with Kurt. The conveyor structure "makes" the scene.

Thanks Kurt, Ralph, Sumpter250 ( No 1st name ) , Jesso and Jim for taking some of your valuable time to give your opinion.
It looks like I have no other choice that to add the conveyor structure.
My dream silos looks like that ( see picture ), but I have no other choice that to do an
intensive geographic compression lol

I think it will look better with the conveyor structure also.
