Wow, Shaun, that's a great piece.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, much appreciated!

The ladder is an O scale train accessory I picked up, there were two in the pack. I'll get a manufacturer when I get back home.

Give me a little while longer and I'll have the methods down pat. But it's really all just water-based paint and looking at lots and lota of rusted metal on the way to work :)

But yes, a tute will be forthcoming... just don't hold your breath :)

I sold the watertower that was part of the recent IHMN game. It was sold off the table at Partizan & therefore I had to replace it.
The lower half of this tower is from a 1/32 Esci watchtower, the tank & ladder are scratched
