A lovely, beautiful, amazing, breathtaking sky as a background.

step 5 of 15

We have a turtle and a bronze head on top of it. We could use something where people can stand in and are safe for all the violence from out of space.

Visitors bring in money, we can buy a society shield now and put on front of the head.

Oops! We just noticed that the head stands loose, time to put in some nails to connect the head with the turtle. With the last bit of money left we have painted the ribbon around the head.

A shadow towards the back. Shadows are free and always look good!

step 10 of 15

Out of some rope and papier mâché it is time to make some models. The rope we even made our-self of loose pixels (no outside help of sources).

More papier mâché and we have a moon. I know it is a bad representation of the real moon but everyone will recognize it.

The same decorator made the sun (he's really the doorman, but he's doing his best).

step 13 of 15

Before our visitors start to whine they can not leave, we've added some ropes they can use to climb out.
Don't ask me how they got in, I warn you!

step 14 of 15

We have the Earth, the moon and the sun... time for some stars. We asked Rick Astley and Ricky Martin but they didn't want to hang there, so our doorman made some himself.

step 15 of 15

Bill Haley's old management (who also represent Rick Astley) donated some old promo material from the Comets... YEAH!
They are self made (no outside sources used) but they mean well and we can use them!

Whenever you have some time you are welcome to visit our observatory but please do not feed the turtle.
