Post Bandai Lawn Ornaments

Couldn't afford new flamingos for the yard this year. Had to go with the DIY/recycle thing. Helps keep trespassers away.

Not really. It's supposed to be all of a piece, sort of a trailer park gothic altar. Did a quick down 'n' dirty multi-spray on the bandai china stuff that no one else would bother with.
I have another thread (How Not To Paint Kustomz) with 10 "name brand" toys (much closer) that were included in the process because I wasn't happy with the earlier painting. Actually like 'em better now.

The wild yard was trimmed all the way back to the semi-improved city alley, and the thing sits in a big bed of day lilies that haven't started their blooming season yet. I was more worried about how many lilies I stomped getting all that in there and wedged under the tree. Luckily day lilies are tough and weed-like and they should come back fine next year.

Now to work on a smaller piece for the front yard and transplant the Siberian Iris someone kindly gave me.

Ha, this looks Great! Awesome job, mate. Perfect idea for these pieces & the execution's a lot of fun - something I'd like to see in person :D

I would love to see how the Bandai Altar looks once those daylilies go into in bloom.
