Updating my sand tower

[Xavier A.]

Hi,
Well, I have a sand tower, but I'm not so glad with.
So I decide to updating keeping only the tower in wood and the sand tank. Adding new details and others.

After several days of investigating, I found pictures of the details that I was missing.
And I got down to work.
Here's a little about the construction process.

I build a small boiler (scratch)...

Puting together,

Here, details of the wood tower.

Some details of the loading device.

Almost finished,

Only need to fill with sand.

Greetings,

Xavier

Xavier, that is a very well-done sanding tower! What scale are you modeling in?

Need a pipe from the drying house so that the dried sand can actually get into the hopper part of the tower. Curently you have a sealed bin with an outlet at the bottom but no inlet at the top to fill it up.

Thanks for the suggestion. But the model is not finished yet.
The sand tank have a pipe conector, but can't see in these pictures.
Also need to put a smoke stack in the roof, and others details,
as hole in the roof to fit in the angle pipe.

Thank you again for your comment.

Regards,

Xavier
