Customizing: Pipes

[dieastra]

"Gee, if only I had something to make pipes from..." - but wait, I do! These are leftovers (sprue) from the science table model kit where you had to break the pieces off. I thought I might need it again one day, didn't think it would be so soon! The green things are plastic beads from my childhood, cut in half. The red wheel is a leftover from the

Thank you! Like you, I can't stop looking at it, and being amazed what I managed! I love how it came out. Can't wait for the wall to be finished and be used as a background for my figures.

I look forward to it!

I like it when you make things from things meant originally for something entirely different, like this or those metal cans the other day, or the fireplace, or wall panels/windows with swapped views. :)

Thank you! I can't tell you where the strange ideas in my head are coming from, but I sure like them as well! I feel alive and very creative.

Pssst, don't tell anyone yet, but there was a guy here a few days ago from the newspaper and I showed and explained everything to him... he liked it!

Wow, this is impressive.

Thank you! I'm really happy with the result. Didn't know I have a steampunk side in me!

Now I know what to do with all of the leftover sprues from my model kits... Send them to you to make things out of! XD

Hahahahahaha - I totally thought this sentence would end differently ;)
Can I see pictures of your models somewhere?

[arashinoookami]

If you're friends with me on LJ, you can see some of them here:

If I have time, I'll take some photos of my newer kits on the weekend.

Thank you for the link! I was looking through your tag list, but there are over 1000 of them LOL Must have missed this.

Wow, that looks like lots of tiny fiddly bits! Hopefully you never lose an important piece. I love the lit up version though!

Actually, it's the other way around in LJ. Me being friends with you is not necessary, but with you friending me you have granted me access to your locked posts.

But I think it is way over time to friend you back! Don't know why I haven't already done so. Then I won't miss the new post if you do one.

Very cool.

Thank you!
