I have hit a bit of a block on my astronomy tower.  So I made a giblet.



More photos and some build details are on my blog.

Managed to slap some paint on this afternoon.  It still needs work but it is looking better. 

I also found a standing stone that I made ages ago and forgot so that got a slap of paint too.

Even cooler if you called it a gibbet, out of respect for reality.
The laws of probability do not apply to my dice in wargames or to my finesses in bridge.

Excellent work, as usual. How did you get the runes pressed into the standing stone?

As there seems to be controversy surrounding this manufacture I would say do your research and make your own decisions.  Like most things there seems to be quite a bit of grumpy out there.
