MOISTURE VAPORATOR

[GEEK1138]

Hi all. So to go with the Treadwell droid and complete the Tatooine set I thought I would do a full scale Moisture Vaporator.

Essentially lots of drums and boxes stacked up to form a tower. Always loved the functional looking gear strewn about in ANH around the farm and Mos Eisley. There seem to be numerous iterations of the vaporators so I've gone for the most classic type.

Here's where I'm up to;

Pretty much finished apart from adding the oil and sand and grime...the fun bit!

Anyone know how many were made for the original movie?

What did you use for the large rounds parts above the base?

I just searched around for drums/kegs/reels etc that fit the rough size needed
