Customizing - Salmon ladder for Oliver Queen as Arrow

I made a salmon ladder for my Oliver today! Click the LJ cut to see the step-by-step pictures.



I cut out the pieces from thick cardboard:

That's what they look like:

These red and blue pieces will make the "feet" of the salmon ladder. I got them from a children's magazine which I bought in the UK - they are meant to use for playing a game.

I glued the pieces to a wooden stick:

To make sure I hammered in a few nails:

I painted it to make it look rusty:

Then I weathered it:

Thank you! I had great fun! Wonder what Stephen Amell will say when he sees it.
