Thanks, this write-up made me lick my elbows.

I had no end of problems with the paper tubes as the base to the trees... never would have thought PVC. Nice.

I like the fact that you are using set pieces, whereas you change them up frequently for different photos.

I may try something in this manner - although everything I've created has been nailed or glued down since my kids are actively playing with them ;-)

May I ask what you (and others I've seen on this site) use for that water texture? I would guess it's some kind of tempered glass surface, like the stuff used for outdoor patio furnature tables?

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers! ~ Paul.
