Thanks, Joe! One of the best zoos I've been to, the Fort Worth Zoo, has so much water everywhere, and that was to me very impressive that everywhere I looked there was beautiful clean, clear water flowing through the exhibits, forming waterfalls, wading pools, and huge pools for elephants to swim in. It makes a zoo so much prettier than just having a stagnant concrete pool here and there to barely meet the needs of the animals.
So my inspiration came from there.
Sadly, I had to pick the zoo up and put it away yesterday.
It took me all day to do it. But everything is now even more organized than before. I put everything needed for each individual exhibit in its own bag, so next time I can set up a lot quicker, minus the animals. They are still organized seperately so I can get them out for other uses more easily.
Now I'm going to start focusing on some customizing... I have fencing to paint, DS orders to send off, a restaurant to design and build, a custom animal to make
, some more gift shop items, and a couple of small custom surprises for next time. I also want to build a terrarium, and I have some ideas to tremendously improve the marine area of the zoo that I think could be totally awesome if I can muster the creativity to pull it off effectively.
