Right well the base is done.  Still need to finish off the guy but I thought I would put him in situ to see what is all looked like

I thought (assumed) you'd have him square on mate, the menace of ol'crawly being more apparent, (ie pride comes before a foul! (fall)). ;). Looks great mind.

your welcome pal. 

I need to balance out the upper part of the base, what i am thinking is a rusty down pipe on the left in line with the outlet pipe near the water with a valve wheel, perhaps even having the pipe bend off to the right above vinnie.

thoughts?

Zed coming down the wall be too much? ;)

yeah I sense the need for more pipework, plus a valve of some form definately.

zed crawling down the wall might look a little odd, never really thought of them as the dexterous type

I was thinking something like this.....

That frames the original mini nicely, and draws attention back to him.

That's turned out to be a little belter  8) 8)

The cobwebs are a nice touch  8)

I'll have to go back through the thread (I don't think it's mentioned) but I can't see much of a meniscus on the exposed edge of the water, what product did you use?

cheers

James
