Soooo a contest about snails... better get a snail in then, let's cut it's house open and make a inside for it.
Let's see where this ends :)
step 2 of 12
First of all the snail needs an underground, snails are funny but they can not fly!
At the same time let's also make a background out of the same source, I'm lazy and this way I got 2 for the prize of one.
step 3 of 12
We've established in the previous step that snails can't fly, so what else can we do with it?
Let's put some water in, maybe he thinks he's a camel and needs to bring it's own drinks...
step 4 of 12
So the water is in it... let I have it to drink or do I want another use for it?
Another problem is that snails are small, what the heck! I make this one a "Doctor Bunsen Honeydews Amazing Swim in the Dark Superduper Gaintsnail".
Yes, I liked to watch the Muppet show!
step 5 of 12
So we have a Superduper Giantsnail which is also a pool.
People need to get in it to be able to swim so I gave it a ladder.
The rope I made out of some pixels I had laying around the wood source again.
step 6 of 12
"Swim in the Dark"... hmm... I have a problem here... there's a hole in which light enters... this thing needs a hatch so it can be dark!
step 7 of 12
How far am I?
I have a snail with a hole in it's back, water in it and a catchy salespitch!
Wow I can make money out of this thing!
So a booth next to it! Yes lazy I know, used the same wood source to make it as the floor.
step 8 of 12
The booth is there, now I need to hire someone who can paint some nice text on it, I use the same guy who painted the background text, he's cheap and does a nice job.
'Entrance' on top and to make some extra money I rent out Towels and Bathing suits as well.
step 9 of 12
There's some space on the right... maybe I can make more money out if this?
step 10 of 12
I found a new use for this Giantsnail.
I can show movies in it and luckily last week a new movie was released.
step 11 of 12
After 2 weeks testing I discovered 2 problems:
1. the snail has got a will of it's own, it moves around sometimes. I hear you thinking "it's a snail, they do not travel fast" yeah well this is a Giantsnail, people do swim inside it. Last week it made London to Cardiff in an hour... had to pay 15 train tickets back to London for those who where swimming. Better put a warning sign up so I do not have to pay anymore!
2. People are people and they do what they do in a swimming pool...
The snail does not like that! Another warning sign!
step 12 of 12
I'm ready for business! All I need is a little different color of paint all over!
O, by the way, are you still reading all of this?
I have to reward that I suppose... O well, you just won free entrance to the movie show on Tuesday evening (you do have to rent a towel and a bathing suits though!).
excellent !!! soo funny
