The original base for the penguins of a few 2×4’s covered with canvas and topped with fake snow seemed like a good idea and looks ok when standing along, but here in Bay Area where it does not snow and without covering the entire yard with fake snow it just looked a bit odd.  So I decided to give the penguins a new base 2008 that would be a bit more fitting.  The new base will be a bunch of packages that are made of fiberglass covered foam.  The resin has been dooped diffrent colors so that I will never have to deal with scratched paint.
