Description Here's my Ice Cream Stand which I've been working on in the last two weeks. I made all my favourite types of ice cream and accessoires. The whole thing was inspired by an ice cream stand (though not a blue one^^) in Menton/France which I saw during my holidays. Because ice cream originates from Italy, I used the italian terms, I hope they're not too wrong

I used balsa wood, acrylic colours, clay and glue.

As always, critique is very welcome.

geekySquirrel In reply to ravenlael [2011-10-24 10:22:33 +0000 UTC]

no it's just the oil I use for scenting my room with that water-and-candle thing i don't know the name of

and no it won't stay forever. depending of the kind and make of the oil it stays between a couple of weeks up to 1 or 2 years.

why do you think that?

Flyffel In reply to geekySquirrel [2011-10-23 12:05:43 +0000 UTC]

It's the icecream. It looks like... don't know how to say it (English is not my native language). Like pudding that has come out from some kind of tube? Too shiny and puddingish/slimeish. Makes it kinda gross in my eyes. It just doesn't look like ice cream. I like the decorations though.

geekySquirrel In reply to Flyffel [2011-10-23 15:50:14 +0000 UTC]

i'm also not an english native speaker. i know what you're mean though gross was propably not the right word
look here: Wiki

When i was little, ice cream did not look like this but more like the ice cream you can buy in supermarkets. now they seem to have changed the appearance to look tastier. you know soft, almost molten. this is what i wanted it to look like.

but thank you anyway
