Weekend Photo Fun 9-27 to 9/29/13
O.K. kids! It's that time again for your photos. I titled mine "Bunch-O-Dumpsters". My good modeling friend Kevin Klettke scratch build these wonderful dumpsters and sent them to me. I made a mold and cast a bunch of them out of resin. That pink thing in the foreground is the mold with two dumpsters ready to be poped out. Most went to Kevin and I kept a few. Thanks, Kevin!
