Here are some pictures of my free lanced replica water tower, which you can compare with the pictures at thread start. Green is much brighter but eye catching. This is my first attempt at modeling. Hardest part was the lettering. If interested I will tell how I did lettering which may be old or odd method.
I sent this picture to Imogene's town clerk to show what I did, and hadn't forgotten her. Tower body is a 2" diameter x 17.5" high (scales out to approximately 8' diameter and 70' tall) PVC pipe with a cap glued on which explains the ridge not on the real tower (thought about grinding down cap but might have look worst/obvious (besides Imogene is clear on other side of Iowa and a wide off-the-path place in road anyway, whose gonna check it out? 
)
