CSS David Scratch build in 1:72

Thats how everything started, a little, leftover piece of a broomstick:

which was covererd with some additional wooden veneer to represent the real thing:

some styrene parts too:

and then I added some tiny details and some base color and some salt:

Hope you like it as much as I did and if there are questions, let me know.
