I finished with my car factory today.  This is the white building that is
featured in the timelapse demonstration video.

Here's a photo of the outside of the factory:

The roof is built with two 32x32 blue baseplates.  On this side you can see
a loading dock area that handles both the siding that leads into the
building itself for unloading as well as the main track, and the front
office and reception area.  Just above the doors and windows of the office
is a space for a sign-I just need to draw one up and print it out on a
colour sticker.  I may rebuild this section with canopies over the
windows/doors.

This is the other side, ignore all the misplaced modules in the background:

On this side we have a rollup door that can fit a forklift, where cars can
be driven out:

Here's a shot of the inside:

I ended up staffing the factory with soccer players emptied out of two 3411
Soccer Busses.  I guess they'll never make it to their tournament, because
they're all now CAW union workers. :) I built a few little welding robots,
obviously just for show, and some other bits inside, a tool rack, a coffee
corner, and some storage facilities for windshields and roofs (not visible
in this photo).  I think I'll need some more of those little car chassis
pieces to make more cars for production...

Anyways, enjoy.
