Project

Oahu Sugar Company, as were most if not all sugar plantations, was heavily reliant on pumped water to crop its sugar cane on its 10,000 acres.

The interior of my model is wood framed. The pump house rests (as does the prototype) on a tall poured concrete based (modeled with styrene sheet and painted sandpaper surface)
