I agree with Claude and Frank! I always love to see what you've come up with and what materials you used to do it.

Looks good as always Carlos, but one question. What are you going to tell your daughter when she looks for her stuff.

Fantastic progress Carlos. Need to look more in hobby shops ... the decorated paper strips have added so much detail to the scene. On the initial piece, the outer columns, that have the grey pipe are not supporting anything yet ... will be interesting to see how this develops!!
