I wanted to build the Amsterdam Canal Houses. Originally, I
wanted to furnish them but when I started working on the houses they were
front opening which wouldn't work for what I wanted to do with them. |

I wanted to build a canal in front of the houses. This is before I put the
houses into the fish tank where I planned to keep them. |

This is the bottom of the canal. Can you see the skeleton? In the old days,
dead bodies were sometimes just thrown into the canal. There is also a
wrecked boat, ships wheel, and anchor along with different kinds of trash. |

This view has the top of the water on the canal. |

I decided to put the Amsterdam Canal houses into a fish tank so you can see
the water and what is in it. However, I didn't want the water to look too
clean. After all, there are dead bodies in there. |

In this one you can see the actual canal. Yes it's very cloudy but I think
it makes it look more realistic. That's why I took before and after shots.
There is also a photo behind the houses of Amsterdam. |

The fish tank is a corner tank. This is another Amsterdam scene on the back
side of the fish tank and behind the houses so you don't see the backs of
the houses. |

Shows the canal before putting it in the fish tank. |
