Wells for Modern Africa

I've been wanting to add various bits to my African imagi-nations villages and towns to give them a little more character.  Among the items to add is a market, a couple of stores, a hotel, and a well, where the villagers can get their water.  After a brief search on the net, I settled on two wells, instead of one.  One is a simple stone lined hole in the ground, the other a more modern concrete fixture with a hand pump.  Here is an in progress shot.



And a couple of pix of the completed wells.



Hopefully, I'll have more soon.

  4. Are you going to make these on a regular basis to sell? If so, I would buy a couple! Nice work (as always).

    1. No, I already painted and flocked them, so too late to make molds. I hadn't given any thought to casting them, sorry.
