Here is a large
spherical storage tank that can be found in all sorts of
industrial settings in
miniature war gaming including
science fiction,
pulp, and
historical.
The central structure consists of a globe for storing liquids and gases, built on a core pylon (which also houses internal piping for moving the contents through an underground system).
To add stability to the
tank, a series of perimeter support columns help anchor the
tank to the ground. Each column is set into its own reinforced footing.
Because of the size of the piece, these
storage tanks are normally located out of doors rather than inside
factory settings.
This
terrain piece is very versatile and can be used in most
industrial settings,
population centers, and some
military installations. It makes a nice
victory objective for a raid on a
manufacturing plant (for example: penetrate the facility security perimeter and place demolition charges on the
storage tank).
The scenery piece is designed for use with 20 to 30 mm miniature figures. It stands about 5-1/2 inches (140 mm) tall. The base measures 6 x 6 inches (150 x 150 mm).
