Seriously... would a chain or rope suffice here for the flusher? (I still have to texture it, then make it all poseable, but this here's the tentative 1900's Crapper, second in a set of three (The outhouse is next, natch.) /P

In those days it was always a chain; presumably a rope would have been subject to mold, mice, etc.

Hmm - I figured, but wasn't sure. Chains are easier to make in either case (really - beats simulating a knot, making the cord flexible, etc...) Chain it is, then. /P

But really..the real question is...what would the wooden man use a toilet for?? Wheres his mouth for food to go in...and wheres his..oh..nevermind -LW

LW, must you be so practical? Besides, this guy probably only excretes sawdust, if anything. ;^)

No, really - and now he has two choices so far (the outhouse begins tomorrow morning :)

Dont forget a "potty" for the baby....and while yer at it..a sand box for the p4 cat {:O) -LW

Excellent Idea! (the baby potty trainer, not the litterbox, that is.) It'll add some time to the ETA, but well worth the effort, IMHO. /P

I'll be damned! Hehe - I'll see if I can re-arrange a few things and make it a bit more true to the original. /P
