Christmas Vacation - Clark's Pool Model Completed

Re: Christmas Vacation Prop Project

how about the grass sprinkles that model railroad folk use...paste on some glue and sprinkle the grass on?

nice project btw..


That was plan B!

I ended up having to do one side as separate piece to get rid of some wrinkles. I may do it all that way. The only drawback is the additional seam on the top surface. The seams alon the angle edges were all part of the original plan. The look better when colored black.

Hmmm...

With new screen caps (that I messed up by not studying earlier) I think my original geometry was closer... :unsure

Finished up the new skirt and it came out fairly well. I'm happy. Looks and feels more like the prop.

Making progress...

The top sheet is just set in place. I'll glue it in tomorrow, and then I'll still need to do the edges and diving board.

This is just the clear plastic with the blue protective film on it.

More comparisons...

Clear plastic with blue protective film (lightest)

"Water" plastic alone (medium)

Very cool!

Not sure if it is because of the camera, but can you see down into the
pool? You put some great angles into the recesses of the pool but they
don't show up in the pic's.

Definitely a one of a kind prop! :thumbsup

Yeah I mostly lost the depth effect

The water plastic just occludes it too much
