This shows sort of what the spa is going to look like. Everything is just sitting there for show. There will be water in the pool eventually. I will need to tint the clear plastic vacuformed water, and the top pile of the corner rocks will be above water, and the bottom half below it. It is supposed to be tinted with white, but I will probably tint it with a blue-green color. I will probably try either Future floor wax and food coloring, or alcohol inks to tint it. Hopefully one of those will will work.

You can just see the little brass faucets in the flat rocks on the wall. I expect those are to rinse with before you get into the spa. You can also barely see two of the very tiny buckets sitting on the floor. Those were a pain to do, since you have to wind pieces of copper wire around the tops and bottoms of them, and twist the wire at the end. I had no idea these were going to be so unbelievably tiny!!!

This is incredible. Is this for you?

It's a miniature Japanese Inn and Spa. It's 1/20th scale, and Aggiemae sold it to me last month.

There is another member on here who built one a few years ago. Check out her blog to see what it looks like!

They were only sold in Japan and Italy, and were subscription kits. Mine is in Japanese and was done starting in 2005 and Peggy's is in Italian, and I think were started in 2008.

I've thought about making real fake water. I'd have to do something to seal everything though. The kit came with a clear plastic overlay to use for water. I'll probably try that and see how it looks before deciding though. This kit seems to be fairly rare as far as complete kits go, so I'm thinking, I probably should try to keep it authentic, other than adding extra accessories.

Yours is so much nice than mine already! I love all the rocks.

It's not really nicer, it's just a different style.Yours is meant to be elegant, mine is rustic!
