Tall Bookshelf (with books) - 1:6 scale
Bookshelf with for my in-progress short film. The protagonist in my short film likes to take broken items and give them a new life. Here he has ‘fixed’ the ‘broken’ shelf with a ten pin he also found.
Made from balsa, complete with various books and knick-knacks.
