Mike,

the cone roof is made by cutting a circle of .020" styrene and removing a pie shaped piece in order to form a cone. I use a backing strip of .010" styrene to glue the joint and form the cone. The initial diameter of the circle is larger than the diameter of the tank. Once the piece of pie is removed, the diameter gets reduced to the tank diameter.

i place the stair treads on the tank while it is laying as a flat sheet. I scribe .040" styrene to look like grating and cut the pieces into about 1/4" x 5/8 " rectangles for the stair treads. After the tank shell is pulled together and round, I add .060" square styrene posts to each tread that are 7/8 inches long. Lastly, I glue a strip of 1/16" x .020 " styrene strip to the top of the posts to create the top handrail.
