I have created a Water Tower model and posted the DAT file in
lugnet.dat.models but if you want to see a POV-Ray rendering check out my web
site at:
<http://home.att.net/~bgatrelle/creations.htm>

The lower round body should really use part number

The top uses the 1/4 saucer section #30117 by Steve Bliss from
<http://www.lugnet.com/news/display.cgi?lugnet.cad.dat:213>

The lower part of the tower should really use #30201, but I don't have that in
LDRAW. I just turned the #30117 upside down. It doesn't line up exactly, but
you get the idea.

This is the first model I have posted to the CAD group and would appreciate
any feedback.

(...) The rendering looks cool. Add some engines to it, and it could fly. :-) Your posting to cad.dat.models is messed up though. Several lines have been wrapped, which causes ldlite to choke. You can fix this by increasing the line length in the (...) (26 years ago, 14-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

great mdel. i think that if you took the bottom ufo hulls off and removed the stand,baseplate and added some mre layers it would make a great storage drum for oil or grain or whatever. (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

(...) Very nice! I didn't realize Lugnet could be used to post models other than vehicles and spacecraft ;) I'll have to add something along this line to my M:Tron refinery. -John Van (26 years ago, 15-May-99, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.trains)

Oh, well, you just 'beat' my schedule :-) I thought of the use of 1x3 and 1x1 rounds for rounded walls a few weeks ago, and planned to post it as an original idea sometime soon, but didn't get (...)
