Lifebelts

Much as I enjoyed noodling around with plastic to produce some lifebelt stands, it would have been better if I'd used a ruler occasionally. Then I might have noticed that the supporting poles were only going to be about 4mm long.

Short poles look odd, to me at least, so the strips of plastic were removed and the holders fitted to walls instead.

This is what comes of using over scale parts. The lifebelts are suitable for the generously proportioned drowner as they came from Langley Models 4mm spares pots - i.e. 125% of the size required for the layout. Never mind. Maybe there are some fat people in the water.
