Looking good but don't you want to make the worm coming off the still a coil? Or is that still in progress?

I love all the little pieces you have scratch built, like the buckets.

@Lost Egg, thank you! I'll try to finish it up today and coat it tomorrow morning so it can dry while I work.

@Codsticker, thank you! Yeah, I find they help to add a bit of story to the scene but are sometimes hard to make from scratch. But a nice exercise nonetheless to come up with ideas.

@marianas_gamer, thank you! I am not to sure as I've mainly seen two setups being used. I suppose if I curled the wire going into the small barrel, it could be a small still. As it is now, the small barrel is intended to be a thump-keg which derives its name from the thumping noise during the distilling process, which then runs to the barrel with the worm pipe in which the alcohol condenses. I've made a worm end on the bigger of the two barrels to show the point where the "shine" would be collected.

I think I might go for Setup two and leave out the thump keg as that might make it somewhat easier. Or set the Thump Keg off to the side somewhere, as if the Moonshiners have decided against using one.

Will see! Thank you for the comments and the feedback, I enjoy reading them and they help.   :)

@marianas_gamer, no worries, I just learned that myself in the course of this build.  :)

Anyway, here is the primed entry, I'll try to get it finished on time, otherwise I'll inform Vanvlak if I might opt out.

Opt out? You're done.
You don't have to send the fully painted pic by tomorrow, that's only the deadline for the build!

Oh! Fair enough!

That's good news, thank you Vanvlak! I suppose I should've read the post more carefully.
