I'm going to let this "sink" in before I go ahead and explain how this came about. Enjoy....

Update: This is my first attempt to post photo's, so bare with me as I try to make it work. :P
-
I just see 4 red X's in white boxes, is it just me?
-
It's not just you. I forgot to preview it and am now not sure I can post the pictures. I'm working on it. :P
Any help? The pictures are hosted by snapfish.
-
Hmmm... can you PM me the site they are on? Or email the pics to me - pike1067@earthlink.net and I'll try and help you... I can't wait to see this!
:P
-
Ok, here they are.

Very inventive Darth Anton... I have several comments, but I'll let you describe this first. :)
:P
-
Thanks Chewie!
Ironically, the pictures are showing as boxes with the Red Square, Blue triangle and Green circle for me (due to my antiquated machine,) but I know what they are. ;)
This was just a quicky photo shoot. I'm working on putting a lawn in my back yard and had to remove a huge slab of concrete. When breaking it up, low and behold, underneith was that hole. Basically, there's a drain for my pool filter right there that I didn't know about (in fact, the city didn't even know what it was.) The drain is a 4 foot diameter, 8 foot deep cylinder made of brick and is by no means water tight. Water seeped in and took dirt with it leaving behind that hole under the concrete.
After looking at it I said, "of course, Utapa!" and made that quick little set up before having to take care of the hole. I wanted to do the fighter, but didn't have the time to set up a strong enough landing platform. :P
-
No problem.
That was a clever idea you had once seeing the hole. Looks really good; too bad you couldn't save this diorama and put it in your house. ;)
I know you didn't have time, but seeing this makes me wonder how cool it would have been to add a few more things to it.
:P

Her psychiatrist: "It's okay, I'm here for you. Tell me what has happened."
Darth Anton's Wife/Girlfriend: "I sent him out to the backyard to plant the lawn, and the next thing I knew he was on the internet and then..."
Her psychiatrist: "He's in the hole with action figures again."

Her psychiatrist: "We've discussed this before, and I have to remind you, it is a movie year."

That was a good laugh Dressel. I needed that. :)
:P
-
Haha, nice one Dressel.
That's a cool dio Darth Anton, too bad you can't keep it! I'm pretty sure hasbro won't be making one of them ;)
Way to seize the moment! ;D

;D You have earned great respect from my wife. ;) That was pretty funny.

That's a cool Utapau playset. I'd do one but my mom won't let me dig a hole in our backyard.

Then you dig a hole in your neighbor's backyard! ;)

Nice one Gregorbian! ;D :P

Clever ;)

Round of applause to Anton for ingenuity, Chewie for sharing webspace, and Dressel for being funny ;)
It's too bad you couldn't do more with it, but hey, carpe diem! you had the right idea and got in what you could.
Once when I was about five i dug a hole in the neighbors yard to make a mud pie.. something like that, and I wasn't allowed to watch Ninja Turtles for a month. quite damaging...
-
My parents have 4 acres. I miss being a kid and playing in that yard. Maybe next time they go on vacaction, I'll go over there and dig a hole somewhere where it wouldn't cause a problem, grab some figures/etc and make something similar. Would only be temporary though unfortunately.
:P
-
nah, you can make a gras covered tarp to put over it.. and hope nobody steps near it..
-
yea.....just cover the tarp with some grass and dirt......woooppss I forgot to tell ya dad...
-
That dirt colour is perfect for Tatooine!
Do you live in the desert, DA?
