I've searched in vain for a z scale swimming pool similar to the one in my backyard a friend & I enjoyed today. Hard as it is to find one in O or HO, Z just seemed impossible. Drawing on my 1:12 dollhouse background, I discovered an empty liquid ant bait tray makes a convincing community size pool.
Cleaning it out thoroughly & then letting it dry, I painted it with several coats of aquamarine paint. I carved out a piece of foam & painted it to look like concrete. Then I dropped the tray down inside it. I filled it with tinted Scenic Water with just a few ripples.
This isn't intended to be a tutorial but merely a suggestion that if you can't find what you're looking for in Z, make your own. I'll post some pics after the water sets up & I add a diving board & some babes.
