Nothing like hand-rubbed Mahogany —

Here's my cure for the dinosaur infestation:

Ever since Whiskers has been on the prowl, no problem with the dinos.

Please show another water-feature scene.

Scratch built.

Ignore the dinosaur. The grain bins were made from a couple of tin cans and some styrene sheet, tubes and a few parts from my junk box.

More scratch built items, please.

 

I like those grain bins. That's a very clever way to re-use what most people would just throw out. Were the cans that size already, or did you have to cut them before you could attach your add-on parts?

Well, If Allan can ask us to ignore dinosaurs, then I guess I can ask you to ignore Godzilla!

The gazing pond in this scene was sctrachbuilt by me from scrap-box garbage. The wall around the pond was built up from 12 pieces of strip styrene. The water was sculpted from PSI Kneadatite. The ball is a wall finial from a 1/32 military diorama piece. The spires are spears from Warhammer Goblins.

It all comes together for a very pleasing scenery piece.

Show me another water feature in a scene.

I have three more which need major modifications to represent CNR/DW&P prototypes, and another which will be about 95% scratchbuilt.
