I Found a discarded Knob......................

Modeling ideas are everywhere!! :yipee
I'd passed a very distinctive Water Tower, March 2015. I thought it so much fun, I stopped and took a picture of it, on my way from Shelby, NC. to Blue Ridge, GA. in the VERY early morning hours. I think it was Zero Dark-thirty!

I have wanted to make a model of it ever since.
I found an old knob from a chiropractic table lying in our parking lot yesterday. Low, and behold, it was a 30mm Knob! Just the size you need for a 1/700 Water Tower!

That's not a Moon..... It's a Peach!

For those of you who don't know, Gentlemen I give you The Gaffney Peachoid! Lovingly known as "The Big Butt-crack". :facepalm

I can't say why it's called that.

Now that's something you don't see everyday. B)

Very cool.

That was featured in the first season of House of Cards.

Is if you hit I85 every day. Gaffney SC is the Peach Capital of the world. It cold be worse...I guess.

Neat idea, looking forward to this Chris.

Thanks Guys!! I had my Model Mojo on today! :geek
I got the base shored up. Tamiya Putty wouldn't stick to My original hunk of pedestal. It's still just a mite taller that the 135 scale feet. Leaf and nipple on.

Made the outside of the tower pedestal and glued it up. It wasn't as mathematical as I tried to make it.
Except for sawing off .040 from the pedestal, and some seam clean-up, my whole Gaffney Peachoid Master was done in one day!! :yipee Some kind of a personal record! :dance

Almost ready for the RTV Mold! Thanks for looking in!!

Looks like our tax dollars at work again. There's a water tower down in FL off the turnpike I think that's supposed to be an orange. Looks like a huge golf ball on a tee. You could send it to DC. Wait!! We have enough but cracks there already. Gary

Well, not quite one day. I almost forgot the access door! :facepalm
The mold box is ready!

Wait a minute did you say the BIG CRACK has an ACCESS DOOR? :tomato

What a wild project! I wouldn't mind having one of those myself one day. You definitely need to put that on a small dio base and sit back and watch everyone's reactions when they see it. What a scream that would be!
