I missed this the first time this was announced, but someone built a 20-foot-tall revolver on the northwestern edge of Amarillo, Texas.
Texas-based ESTN-FM mentioned the non-functional firearm Thursday in a post:
It was constructed by Darrel Podzemny, who shared pictures of it on his Facebook page and described it as “a new landmark for Amarillo on Cliffside Road. A 20-foot-tall revolver.”
Podzemny tells Chrissy, that it took a month to construct and that “he had a friend that sold tanks and that in the past, he used them to build tornado shelters. He sold his shelter company last year and decided to use his extra time and tanks to build what he calls “The Big Gun.”
Here are pictures of the “Big Gun” by Podzemny himself:
The big revolver also gained an entry into the Roadside America database. Reports stated there is a big bicycle nearby, as well.
The landmark is at 5250 Cliffside Road, only about a five-minute drive from the Amarillo Boulevard alignment of Route 66.
