these turn marshall towers started out life as machine gun nests, packed with soldiers and other war material in bags. the towers were packed separatly as shown in the first picture. bashing was simple, cut the tops off the towers; dremel, sand, or file smooth. glue, paint, and add a flagman (contruction worker in this case) :)

Should have left the machine guns and rocket launchers in! :)

A few more of those could also double as additional camera stands. :)

Mark,
don't know how you always manage to spot these things. You've got a great eye.

Yet again, simple but effective.

"ahhem" :unsure:

Another OH&S issue I see :lol:

Those handrails are no where near high enough for a platform that high :lol: LOL

Once again Mark great spotting

If youv'e got kids I bet they tremble every christmas as they open their toys and try to hide them from you in the fear you'll chop them up for scenery B)
Keep it in the groove

Yes I removed the post. We have a policy of not allowing advertising which means prices etc. There is nothing wrong with discussing new products but apart from that we are ad free.

We will have links up soon for the retailers in Aus who have helped keep us afloat but all else is as I have said above.
