Hey everybody,
Here's a video showing an extremely versatile system using interchangeable parts to create different settings. Very sorry it's so blurry - my camera is a hunk of junk.
Would love any comments or suggestions.

Really cool, I love the modularity of the whole build, very well executed to. I had been thinking of doing something similar for the cobblestone base I made for my Necromantic Tealight. You've given me lots of great ideas, thank you!

Brilliant! Wow. Love the versatility, the details -- love it all. Very creative. One tidbit that really caught my attention, though, was how you used wire, as an armature, for the flowing water on the fountain... You mentioned it in passing, but that is likely the greatest take-away for me, as that has tremendous possibilities. Thank you! Cheers!

very nice. I can see building a few bases, and a few inserts to mix and match for my pantheon of Gods.

Thanks for all the nice comments! One thing I forgot to mention in the video was that the base has skewers hot-glued around the edges, which makes it VERY durable: Brilliant! Wow. Love the versatility, the details -- love it all. Very creative. One tidbit that really caught my attention, though, was how you used wire, as an armature, for the flowing water on the fountain... You mentioned it in passing, but that is likely the greatest take-away for me, as that has tremendous possibilities. Thank you! Cheers! Thanks sgtslag. Here are a few photos of the process used: When you get big drips, smooth them out with a toothpick. After I did one pass, I twisted the wire 90 degrees and did another pass. This made the glue a little thicker, with less of a teardrop shaped cross-section. Ready for snipping to length with scissors. Another little tip: for the bricks around the edges, I strung the beads onto the same kind of wire. This allowed me to dry fit everything and figure out exactly how many beads I needed. It also kept them perfectly uniform while gluing, since I was now gluing one "unit" onto the circle, rather than a bunch of individual tiny beads. Hope this helps
