Great job!
Oh man that is absolutely beautiful! Something I've been wanting to do for a while now.
I just started a project like this! I live in an actual underground home and after visiting Hobbiton I decided that I would recreate the mailbox and gate as the entrance to my home. The only part I know I'll have a hard time with are the fleur de lis straps. Any chance i could but a set of castings from you? It looks amazing.
This is fantastic work. I know what you mean about worrying. Its what's kept me from building a themed mailbox. But surprisingly, I've found that when something looks nice people, in general, leave things alone. Again, you've done great work.So... This is what I ended up with. My only job left is to bolt it down in the front yard. Hopefully it will not get stolen... Excuse the lousy filter my phone put over the image. When it is out in it's place I'll take some daylight pictures.
