Nope, not selfmade; again just putting original playmobil parts together  ;)
The base with the water came from zoo-set 3240:

I just pulled out the railing, and put ornaments from the 3940 (or 5135) pirates' ships in the holes.

The statue and the base it stands on came from the Roman arena, I just switched some parts and accessories on the statue and then attached it on top of the water with a kind of putty that holds the statue in place, but it can also be pulled off again without leaving a trace. I don't know what the substance is called, but it is used in the automobil-industry, like for holding carwindows in place or something. (it is a trick Macgayver thought me many years ago)

Today I saw somenone at Klickywelt mentioning a new custom-castle on Macgayver's website, and as I assumed it would be the one from his and Rapunzel's diorama for the exhibition past month in Seneffe, Belgium, I went to have a look on his site (www.macgayverplaymobil.be).

I decided to also take a look at his "Versailles"-project, which I heard about from another collector some time ago.
So I went to the link "Versailles" - the mansion-based castle is marvellous btw - and aslo took a look on the several sublinks, "fountains" being one of them.

And then I discovered this  :omg:
His big foutain is amazing, but look the top is made of...

Update:

I've further looked on MG's website this evening, and I've now seen pics from exhibitions in 2010 where he uses the same zoo-baseplate (though not eqiupped with the golden ship-ornaments) with similar statues on it, so he came up with the idea/concept of using this zoo-baseplate + statue combination before me.
Nevertheless, I still find it a remarkable coïncidence !  8}
