For the building of Fanshawe Ltd I needed a rain pipe to hid the join in the alley.
I already made a rain pipe using a 1,2 mm rod from Evergreen for a house on Nice Street. A texture is glued around this.
For the warehouse I wanted to use a square Victorian rain pipe.
I wanted to create it myself using a self-made texture. My journey on the internet began.
I learned a lot of new English words connected to rain drainage. Finally I found a picture by CG textures that was usable.
The white arrow is pointed to the rain pipe of choice.
Then I started to create my texture.
In the PDF you can see the final result.

And finally how I made the model:
1. I cut out the texture with the header.
2. I cut the header off the rain pipe and glued on a piece 1 mm card
3. I cut out the header again and glued it again on a piece of 1 mm card, that could hold the rain pipe.
4. Coloured the edges of the header black.
5. I cut out the rain pipe.
6. Glued the rain pipe under the header
7. I cut out the total rain pipe
8. Coloured the edges of the header and the rain pipe
9. Glued the rain pipe on place on the structure
Picture of the rain pipe in model.
I hope you find the model convincing.
