I started with some scraps on my proxxon. Getting an approximate size and started cutting all the pieces I needed.
It would be a basic square, hiding the corners is easiest by placing some wider columns there. To add some interest these will have a cap stone, just for some extra relief. In the middle of the foutain I’ll place a collumn and add a spare mini from a goody bag, if the project succeeds.

Next, the brickwork. For the longer lines I used this little tool from shifting lands, a dutch company (well, one man as far as I know). It’s pretty well known for producing plenty of really good add-ones for the proxxon hot wire cutter and if you’re looking into working with this material I really suggest you check out his site. It has plenty of good stuff and tutorials. He’s also working on a book on creating scenery this way, which successfully kickstarted and should be available later this year.

I then rounded out each corner that would be visible with the side of a pencil, for a more natural look. Finally some balled up aluminum foil dabbed and rolled to create a stone structure.

And glue it together with PVA.
When this is dry tomorrow, I’ll start painting it up, time permitting.
