Here are some before and after pictures of an fish tank ornament that I converted into use for a fort for my Rajputs. Even though it had the right look, it had lots of holes that needed to be patched in including the hollow towers.  The unwanted opening were patched in with wood filler putty. I had to create a false bottom using tape so that the putty in the towers had something to adhere to.  The finished fort after being painted and grass being added to the patched openings so that I did not have to etch the stone pattern in.   |

Nice restoration Tony,
I have looked at a few fish tank accessories and these items are rather pricey.
Next time I travel to Amsterdam I shall add this to my shopping list.

Luckily for me the more expensive ones are too big anyway.
The ones that I have been able to find that work size-wise have cost just under $8.00 USD.

I too could not view them again, but knew this was a technical issue.

I have attempted to use various fish tank decor for my wargames terrain. However I unfortunately encountered a few problems. Chief among these problems was a snag that arose when using some 20mm plastic figures. They kept floating to the top of the tank. I had to use fishing weights to hold them down. But more seriously was a health and safety issue. As we know a DBA game lasts about 1 hour. After my first game my hands were white and wrinkley, and the smell of fish doings clung to my hands for days. More of a problem was the fact I keep piranha. This post has taken over 30 minutes to type, with bandaged hands!  |
