things done during august. Walnut Creek Module the third..
Walnut Creek III or Aspendale Wharf I
Maybe I am crazy, but the hole of Walnut Creek II has been stored in the garage and a third version is under progress. Second version still got to big and heavy.. Not like me to just give up a project this early, but the third version below I really feel for.
This one will be basically an oval with two fake switches. Main purpose; Test track and photo background, and lots of fun...
First a piece of plywood, then ...

The plants on the pictures are plastic ones which I found very cheap at my local gardening centre. They are only placed for the photos, later on they will be glued in groups close to bridges and there the water moves slowly.
