Life Buoy

I have spent ages trying to find something the right size to make into a life buoy, in the end I gave up looking and decided to make one from Milliput.. Rolled then wrapped into a ring. 

Of course if you have a life buoy you need a holder, made from plasticard 

and some 15mm plastic water pipe.

It looks better painted and fitted to the wheelhouse.

With the life buoy slotted in..

I came across some resin fish on ebay for £2 they just needed painting when they arrived. Then I made a tray for them for from some plasticard offcuts, painted blue.
