I made a silicone mold of some 3D printed blocks then poured some hydraulic cement in the mold. It's all I had laying around and it dries fairly quick so it worked out well.

I planted Smiggy's castle today. I'm going to let Mother Nature do the weathering. She's better at it than I am.






It's a bit chilly out so I started on a propane tank for the old chap.

I started with a two 1-1/2" Schedule 40 caps and a coupling.


CA'd together.


Sanded smooth.


3/4" cap.


Success.


A few details to add and it'll be ready to go.

Dusting of snow in the evening. Lights on, Smiggy must be in for the night!

What happens when these little scale tree's and bushes become a 1:1 6-15ft tall?

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