QUOTE (MacFan092985 @ 3 February 2014 - 09:22 PM) | The Stonehenge set came with a little book targeted more toward grade school kids. Each of the stones was a separate piece. I glued them together as well as glued them to the round, green cardboard base, so I could move it without it falling apart. If I remember right, I found it at a Goodwill store for around $1.00. You might be able to find one on eBay. |
Oh okay cool I'll look on there. I love Stonehenge and ever since I first saw a picture of it when I was younger I have always wanted to see it in person. For now though, a model will do Not to mention I like making all sorts of things. Years ago, I made a replica of it out of Legos the best I could, haha. Thanks for letting me know about that. By the way, I responded to the message you sent me earlier. Sorry I didn't post the measurement of my door hinge for the Jeep yet. Got home from work with a bad headache. I will do this tomorrow and post it in the "Jeeping MacGyver Style" thread. Mounting those mirrors to the hinges would be neat.
Walk in love, walk in service, and you will walk in honor.

lol I also studied the hat after I saw Kiwi's post. I really like the hat, it looks great! As a matter of fact with Legos, a globe, and even a Stonehenge miniature, I like everything about that picture! Is the Stonehenge something you put together? That's awesome and now I want one |
I, myself, kinda fancy those model planes in the background, too.

Thanks If I can't find it or something similar I was thinking about making my own using real stones. I could study some pictures and the layout, make a drawing to help map it out, then take my handheld wet saw (for tile and brick, etc.) and carve each stone into a replica shape of each of the real ones used in Stonehenge. (or at least as close as I could get, haha) I've used the saw for things like this before. Below is a picture of a key chain I made out of a rock that has a fossilized insect in it. Originally the rock was a little smaller than a racquetball so I slowly chopped and shaped it with the saw into what looks very similar to a Native American arrowhead. Next, I sprayed it with a few coats of clear sealer which made it shiny, water proof, and resistant to cracking. I then took copper wire and wrapped the notches in the top of the stone (covered by the blue cord in picture) and twisted it with a pliers so it would tighten it all together. After slipping an electrical ring connector on the end of the remaining wire, I applied solder to the ring connector and let it travel all around the wire. After it cooled, it got another coat of sealer and I wrapped the top where all the wire and solder is with some blue cord using a technique for wrapping a knife handle with paracord. One more coat of sealer to give the cord a "dried sinew" (one of the ways spear points were attached to shafts) type look. Only thing now is I wonder how old the rock is? Sorry that's long lol. I try to fill in free time with something hahaha and like to always be doing something when I'm not at work.
