I am scratch-building a 1920s era wooden water tank, and need suggestions for making the spout and other details from scratch.
I am tempted to go out and buy some detail parts, but want to try and have this entirely scratch built!
So, I need help with:
- water spout, chains, counterweights
- water level indicator
- finneal (sp?) - you know, the thing at the peak of the roof...!
I will use 10 gauge wire for the piping to the spout, and I have built most of it from balsa and basswood. The roof will be singled with brown paper bag.
Pictures as soon as available.
Thanks for your help!
