Well here is the final (I hope ) version of the water tank. I sloped the sides some from the top of the tank down to the firewood, did (again I hope 
) a better job on the rivets and added a hatch so water could actually be put it the tank!

For a sense of actual size
Jesper the firewood is real. It's a dead twig off a maple tree that was cut to length and then the peices were split with a single edge razor blade. The tank is made out of styrene, the pointed end of a mini-file was used to "punch" the rivets from the back side. The water hatch is half a window shutter off a cheapo model power house. The weathering was done with pastel chalks. Hope this helps you! :mrgreen:

Quote:sure looks great, those pieces of fire wood looks amazingly real, how did you do?, both the wood and the tank, what is it made of?
