something for the build a structure challenge perhaps?

Congratulations Keith!

It will take me a few more ops sessions yet, but I've made a start with mine

We have a tie, If everyone agrees, we will run two Challenges this winter, the Build a Scene, and the Build a Structure, perhaps you can do both, or incorporate one in the other. The challenge starts on November 1st, and will run 4 months until March 1st 2016. Looking forward to your submissions!

Looks great.
