These vintage cardstock kits have one thing in common with today's modern laser cut kits - the parts must often be separated from a carrier sheet by slicing, then the little nubs must be filed away. Here you see the basic parts for the cooling tower being cut away and filed.
These segments would have been wood planks, likely held together by iron or steel straps. I will simulate this by overlaying the card with a printed wood plank texture from Clever Models, and straps from strips of paper or maybe styrene.
Looks like a nice clean start to what will be an interesting project. Your work area is also impressively clean and organized - I'm jealous :-)
