I've continued with the idea of a 3D miniature of a Lifeguard Tower and have modified the Christmas ornament. I changed dimensions slightly and added more small details to more closely emulate the original tower I photographed at Avila Beach. The tower is about 5" tall. It equates to 1/32" scale. The fire ring is plastic tubing. I borrowed "MAYBE HOT" from my other painting. The sand is urethane foam. The tower is completely laser cut from 3 types of card stock and paper. The last two photos use a background I downloaded from a free textures site and I was able to blend the model into the image. Available
