Scale Model #5
This is a working water wheel constructed as a yard ornament for my own home. The scale is 1" = 1'. A small plastic tube supplies water to move the wheel or a small electric pump is used to pump the water over the wheel. The wood used is luan plywood with oak trim. The porch railing and water wheel are oak as well as the roof. The windows are 1/8" Plexiglas. The base is crushed seashells and the entire unit has been coated with waterproofing. It sits on a concrete slab in a concrete pond to create the effect of the old time gristmill.
