Recently I needed some chairs. Well, really just one chair right away but more on that later. After trolling the 'bay and coming up empty I turned to Shapeways. There I found this seller who offered chairs and desks. I already have desks. I need chairs. Thankfully, the seller was kind enough to bundle the chairs together without the desks.
In order to offset the shipping cost I took a look at what else he had to offer and was delighted to find amphibians! I model Florida and that means gators. I lived there and sure enough, hang around the water long enough and you see them. I've canoed and even swam with them. Good times. But more often you see turtles and occasionally frogs and toads.
As of this post I've painted the gator and the chair, but not the frogs and turtles. The gator will likely show up from time to time as a sight gag. The chair has already found a home behind the station master's desk in the Ocala Springs depot. More on that in an upcoming post. The frogs and turtles will make it into the creek scene, someday, on the Pine Branch Park railroad.
If you want to purchase amphibians of your own, or any number of other neat parts, check out David Yale's Shapeways shop: https://www.shapeways.com/shops/dcyale?li=pb
