3) Missile Silo cover

*That* would be too funny!  A green baseplate, with a fence around it, and a
gray dirt driveway up to a small hut off to one side...

And a big gray circle in the middle.

   I thought that missile silo covers are actually sort of
   hexagonal, on a square patch of concrete, and they "slide"
   horizontally off the top of the silo.

   That may, of course, only be for certain weapons or
   certain generations of weapons, but that was always my
   understanding of how a silo worked.  I don't have time
   at the moment to look for any reference material, but
   maybe someone knows of a resource out there?

   However, good luck getting enough room to put the fence
   at a "realistic" distance from the silo!  :)  You'll also
   need little soldiers, and a few conspiracy mavens to sit in
   pickup trucks with little cameras waiting for the Secret
   Government UFO Tests/spyplanes/etc to come out.

   best

(...) Well, that would be more interesting (both to builders and viewers) than a simple circle. The cover could be build from 1x bricks & slopes, laid flat. Put some rail plates along the edge, and some 1x4 grooved bricks on the 'concrete' pad. (...) (23 years ago, 27-Jun-01, to lugnet.org.us.michlug)
