Yes, this IS related to a Tara Reid Subject! Making the terrain for Rob Adams Sharknado! Hurricon game. It is set in sunny Florida, featuring a real trashy trailer park. Luckilly, Smokey has some experience with trashy Florida trailer parks and the girtls who live in them, so Rob picked the right guy to do his terrain! This is the pull tab that will grow into a 16oz Natural Light can! (get it? That's my trailer park take on the "acorn/oak tree@ metaphor) Got the Plasticville Trailer set. Didn't know it was already assembled and glued:( (Took some skill to break it down to it's components) Comes with a flagpole (already printed out the Florida Gatas flag that proudly flies above trailer parks here) :) Gonna put interiors in them, bang 'em up, detail, weather, add accessories, and scratchbuild a few more.

How do I make 28mm CBS blocks, Tich? have nice scale wood lattice that will surround the bottom as well (and be appropriately broken in places. Only Smokey can get away with walking through a local tailer park that is 100% undocumented citizens, taking pictures, and only get "Hola, que paso?"s becuase I attend their cookouts once in a while and always bring a dish and beer. :)
