Hope I am not being a bother, but does anyone have photos of a completed Tichy Water Tank?
I need some better views of the girder base area attachment and the roof ladder attachment and appearance on a conical (sloped) roof.
Also, I have seen images of light (not silver) colors used on some of these steel tanks from the 1920s-50s. Any paint suggestions?
Please reply to me directly thru this forum.
Thanks for any assistance!

Click on pictures and you can see how the ladders attach. I built mine about 15 years ago and did not use the ladder and wire struts because it was for the portable modules and little delicate details don’t last long. Flat white, or the basic silver gray is the most common colors. Your prototype may have painted the water tanks in a different color.
