SigEp Ziggy Posted December 14, 2019 Author #41 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) I need to make bollards for my Arizona. I tried to make one from scratch and planned on casting copies, but the bollard was so small and I lacked experience doing casting. I decided to make them assembly line style. Now I just need to glue them together.

SigEp Ziggy Posted June 11, 2022 Author #47 Posted June 11, 2022 I have been working on the Arizona! I cut out the MDFB to fit the model, ball parked the water depth, added two PVC pipe fittings to add some detail to the 'holes' and put some black primer on her.
