Great - about 100 pistachios in my bathtub and I'm sitting between them -
Hehe - am I then an island or an admiral????????

Holly - is feasible - lying on my back my belly is the island and my head is the admiral... Good solution. 🙂

I imagine the picture how you lie in the tube, playing with the "ships"! With a Captainshat a pipe and you sing: An der Nordseeküste...;)

Album info

This Idea came to my mind as I was eating Pistachios.
Took me maybe 40 mins to build it.
I used a Pistachoi shell and some thin plastic sprue's.
The ship is standing on a 1cent piece.
