Anyone know of a water tower resembling this:


The Walthers 1950s City Water Tower is not a good match.

Try a spray-paint can lid.
Or a 2" ABS cap is a good match (has the rounded top, while the PVC caps are flat, at least at my hardware store).
Just sand off the lettering stamped on the top.



That's a 4" ABS cap on the left & two 2" (unpainted) on the right.
Stick one on some bamboo skewers & yr done

Rick, when you link, try using the "Image Only" option on the right hand side and the embed URL. Make sure you chose the right size,

I don't know of a ready-made kit but you can make such a thing from larger diameter tubing and dished domes for the tank and styrene rod for the legs, all available from Plastruct (look in the tubings and fittings part of the PDF catalog).

No ideas on one that size but I always find it amazing how they name all these little towns after their water tanks.
