toyfarmer Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 made two of these from a piece of 400mm long 250mm diameter underground drain pipe cut in half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyfarmer Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 i think the pipe makes them to thick and the frame made from wood don't look that good but i have another idea when i find the right material but at least it gave a chance to practice paint effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
