New water tower

[dudley]

some pictures of the new Misty mountain Water tower, made of bass wood and coffee sticks, its not perfect but ok from the four foot rule. more buildings to follow in the next few weeks. The Misty mountain rail road is a G scale module railway, made for the garden but could attend the Southwold exhibition, in the near future.

Very businesslike; well done. I see you've added a water level gauge. I think I forgot that on my tank - will have to check and add if necessary.

Tower looks good. Coffee stir sticks work very well. Keep it outside for a while so it can weather nice. Then put a seel over the wood to preserve it.

A goodly piece Dud. When is the Southwold show?

saturday the 6th august and sunday the 7th, although this will be the first time i wont have anything to do with it, as there is two large scale exhibitions two weekends in a row after that date. both to do i believe with the flying pigs which the Broome pit BADASS boys are members. happy days.

That looks really good, what did you use as a former for the water tank? I'm after making something similar myself, eventually

Not big enough (plus It mustn't rust away whilst I'm trying to glue the coffee sticks to it)
