Supposed to be a quick replacement for the origional tower at Apache Falls,got it out of the box,oh dear tooo toyish, full bash required,mainly on the tower frame,looked as if would collapse if filled with water,tank not too bad,after a glue test,(great,can use poly cement)square plastistruc tube in various sizes cut to length,ends covered in plasticard,then grained,and attached,(no prototype,so if it looks ok,then it is,the joy of freelancing :))bolts and plates plasticard and square rod,ladder is angle Plastistruc and rod,pulleys from my model boat scrap box,and counter balance weights,simply a bolt,with nuts along its thread for weight,covered in plastic tube,now looks a little more substantial??16 legs now,not the 4 out of the box!!!Next days off weather permitting,get it in situ :) :) :)
