Bellows

Post by Athos »

You may or may not have noticed, in my vignette, my bellows design. I looked at various good designs already proffered, but could not find one of the proper size for a vignette, so I had to design my own. I was pretty pleased with the result and thought I would share it with you all:

I only wish I had used a black handle piece, but I only had dark grey available...

Great bellows. Well, I guess that answers my question about what it is.

That's the fun thing about vignette building--getting everything to fit. It often results in interesting ideas, and I think yours is good enough for me to use sometime. It's a nice Castle use for that zip line handle.

Excellent idea, Steve! It would have never accured to me to use that piece for a bellows. Nice job, sir!

Hey that's a great idea, like others have said a great implementation of a generally non-castle part. Just curious did you happen to notice my bellows desing in the 'shodder' house? It looks like it would fit in your diorama. That's not to downplay yours at all, yours is awsome!

I did. I just couldn't find a way to attach it without making the furnace one more brick deeper, and didn't want to do that. :D
