Trash City / Styrene Gardens
Trash City started with the idea of making my nephew something for his toy-train set. I had a styrene transport protection shell, which gave me mountain and rocks over a tunnel - and at first this it was. 

But making a mountain over a tunnel for a toy-train set leeds sometimes to making a pond on top, which on the other hand leeds to the need of a solid, but nevertheless water-looking surface.

So browsing through the dayly prosperity trash of my household, I found there was a lot too good to be trash - I found a little transvisible plastic container, which had had soap in it - this gave me the water surface for the tunnel mountain's pond - and I had a lot of styrene and train-set dressing decoration left.

This teased me.

I made myself a garden. Just for fun.
And it was so much fun, that I next made a palace of beads.
And a grotto house for a sea god.
And, and, and ...

Now, years later, I have a whole city made of trash and styrene gardens.
And I hope, you, the audience on the web, will enjoy.
