The second viewing stand





I went with a nice neutral gray stripe - it could be any room really.    Making these stands uses up bits too that I just couldn't part with like the flooring here.

The two little black stands were from an inexpensive set of oriental items I bought while in the AF Reserves from someone.  I put it in a box with my mini's which were then packed away and forgot about them.

These two stands (of 3 had broken legs which I finally, this past weekend glued back on.  The third one was missing its broken leg(s) and on looking at it I decided it would become a platform on a table.   Virtually nothing goes to waste!!

The outer walls




I decided to use the "outer" walls of my new viewing boxes or whatever they should be called.  It took me 2 hours to select and glue on these advertisements.   I managed to get in the names of some of the locals too.

Thanks to Casey's Mini's!

Ever since I saw this idea on Casey's Mini's blog I have so wanted to make a couple (or a few) for myself.
So I am thrilled that I finally got a sort of photo stand made for taking pictures of mini's I buy or make.


A viewing stand made AT LAST!












I have another one in the making, slightly larger.  I am even contemplating a box I can port back and forth from work with some kind of mini-scene in it.
