heres a On30 scale wooden water tower I'm working on,,,need to make a hatch for the top and a ladder on the side to the roof hatch,,,then all the wooden parts will be done,:thumb:,,,I'm awaiting the metal spout kit and tank binding clamps from Grant Line Products,,,
This water tower platform is 4 3/4" wide,,,3 1/4 " high,,,the tank is 3 3/4" high,,,tank diameter is 4",,,the tank mold is a small oatmeal box,,,,the roof mold is a 6" circle of cardstock ( drawn ),divided into 8 equal sections,,,,putting a cut partially thru all the sections,,,then removing 1 section altogether,,,when you pull the 7 remaing sections together, ( tape it together ), you will get your pitched roof mold with 7 sides,,,a surface to apply your roofing of your choice,,,I chose to put a cedar Shake roof on mine,,,all the wood was cut on a table saw with a very fine tooth blade,,,this tower will cost only the amount of the hardware from Grant Line,,( 12.00 ),,,the tower overall is 8 3/4" tall,,,will stain it next to age it,pryer to hardware,,,hopefully this will inspire some in what cool things you can easily model in this scale
,,,have fun,,,,,,Randy May
