are you going for a realistic design and material?
fact is most stills werent made from copper and in the arkansas region they used submarine pots
copper was expensive back then so they would use whatever they had availible and just leave the boil tank behind and make a new one each year
they did use copper for the cap and the piping to the thump tank and the worm but the thumper and worm were just wooden barrels that the bought from distilleries
it wouldnt be too hard to make a reasonable model of a still quickly
i have thought about modeling my old copper porkpot still in the past just didnt know that anyone would want it
