A Tower within a Tower

I will be displaying a few models at the upcoming American themed show at Lichfield in May. More about that later this week. One of the items I will have on display is the Golden Spike Tower. I have decided to make a second tower to replace this one. As it happens, the directors of the real tower were so impressed that they are going to display my model in the tower itself. I have been introduced to the company in North Platte that built the tower. They have sent me a full set of plans and pictures of the tower under construction. I am flying out to the States in October and will be presenting the model in person.
