Default Envi inspired mailbox! Weekend boredom!

"Holidays + gf living in another town makes Dan go something something..."

"Build a mailbox?"

"Don't mind if I do!!"





Well it's not actually Envi, but is a pretty close match... Typical country spec mailbox, complete with zipties in the construction! (You can take the boy out an EA-NL Club Falcon, but you can't take the EA-NL Club Falcon out of the boy HAHA)

Dan..

I once saw on today tonight a story on some property dispute in Tasmania and it was showing some of the "enclosures" are few of the locals lived in. One women came out to check her mail, being rainy as it was, her mail was not wet at all thanks to the letter box she had.

An old microwave mounted on a trash can!

You sure she wasn't just drying her mail? haha...

And as you can see from the pics, the last thing we get is lots of rain...

Actually I just constructed something else I can polish...

Megiuars for the T, Liquid Ice for the recepticle (because Liquid Ice doesn't leave white residues on plastic, etc!!)
