Also doesn't look like smiggins can fit threw his own door?

Shucks, I don't know. I guess I'll plant new trees every year.


Oh, how I wish someone would invent a hand tool that could trim trees!

I don't know about design flaw, but I can bet the splash back factor on the downstairs reading room is going to be a bit less then desirable.

I truly like your park, nice work.... and a LOT of it

If you're open for any suggestions, I think if you plant some of arborvitaes or other thick full branched shrubs/bushes very close and tight to each other and then sculpture trim a perfectly shaped tunnel trough the branches it would present very cool and still be sticking with your multi-purpose scale truck park ~ backyard landscape beautification.
I can doubt you need other people's ideas, but thought I'd toss it out there just for the cool factor.

Lunch Lady Doris actually narrated that in my head when I saw it.

I am loving this display and have hopes for doing the same in my yard. We kept about ~24 feet by 14 feet for a garden plot but I am hoping my wife does not want to become a gardener

Thanks for you comment and suggestion. That is definitely something I'll have to try! It would certainly make for some cool photography.

Haha. She can become a gardener as long as it's growing miniature trees and rocks.


Oh yes, things are weathering nicely.

Incredible work! I believe it was mentioned, but any plans for a small pond? Possibly even with a scale fountain or tiny waterfall?

[sic1to]

The 320 to 500 gallon propane tank takes the cake!!!!! Amazing detail & great construction on everything.

[RcBro]

Your attention to detail and artistic talents never cease to amaze me. Nicely done!

No plans for a pond yet. Too many leaves in the fall to clean out of it.

Thanks! I'm so happy with how the tank turned out and the rusting process.

And you thought I was done planting tiny trees.

Smiggins homestead is fantastic! What does he use for a water source?

Needs a rain barrel or something I suppose.

This could be a fun brass project!

Albert started digging a well yesterday. Slight problem...

[sally1800]

Now we know why he is so pale-faced.

[Stormin2u]

It's an incredible effort my wife even appoves well done.

[JonnnScott]

I cant stop looking at this thread... It is incredible.

Smiggin even has that 'Oh sh*t' look on his face.

[pardonmyn00b]

Well, well, well...



No build pictures of the well but it's pretty simple. I used a chunk of 4" pipe as a form and did the stone work around it. Then I slid the pipe out and brushed a few coats of mortar on the inside for strength. I built a little wood roof and that's it. The handle actually cranks to lower the bucket. I dug the well about 12-14" deep so it will collect water too!
