Out2gtcha Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Thanks gents! Bit more progress...... I got a few small details finished off for the cottage including the front door w/heart shaped window, the front "art piece" which is a Celtic heart knot on a flattened bit of clay. The 5 super tiny bits off to the left are some brass nuts I'm using to detail the timbers that hold up the stairs. I also got started on the bridge that will connect the two sides of the moon garden. It's just setting in position here atm. Here is a view of what the cottage will like like in its final resting spot as well as the bridge setting in position. I also forged on with more clay work and got the upper set of stairs done: Next I got to work on the VERY tiny little row boat and dock that will be at the lower section of the moon garden (eventually) in the resin water. The tiny little row boat was super fun to make, including a set of dinky leaf oars, a bucket and the tiniest little fishing rod ever If course you can't have a row boat with fishing gear and not have a way to board it, so whipped up an equally tiny little dock for it: I had to make some slight modifications to the moon gardens rock base but afterwards the little itty bitty dock fit snugly onto the rocks: More work continues tonight!

Jim Barry Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 This is great. The energy to create model aircraft can definitely flow in other ways too. Maybe it has to! Enjoy. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point no. The way I've designed things, the figures would be about 3/8" tall or so/ish and probably would be fairy folk or hobbit like in size, so might be a bit small for me to do what I want with them.

chrish Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Awesome! that’s an understatement but that’s all I could come up with. leave me a spot on the end of the dock to drop a line in the water for… maybe a rainbow trout?

Out2gtcha Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Thanks again all! I've made some more progress. This time its fungi-time! The wife and I take frequent hikes through forests and get to see quite a few different types of mushrooms and fungi of different varieties. Some are super fascinating, with a wide variety of colors shapes and layouts. I decided to get a few designs going, some of which are more fantasy and whimsical that real, but that is what this project is all about. These will all get a much deeper gloss coat before finishing, for that deep forest wet fungi look: For all intents and purposes, the cottage is now complete, sans the landscaping which will actually dramatically alter the cottages appearance even further. For now, the physical construction, painting & weathering is complete. The only thing lacking will be the moss and grass that will be added on all the horizontal surfaces including steps. After adding the wooden beams, anchor bolts for the beams, front door, front cottage Celtic knot, and all 11 windows Im very pleased with how it came out (minus the mushroom chimney top, as I will not be able to add that until later): Its hard to see in any daylight like conditions, but all 11 windows including the heart shaped one on the door, all have clear plastic windows with some hot glue and clear orange behind them to give a warm orange glow once the lighting gets in place, so that you can tell its lit from the inside, but cant really see what is inside: I've also gotten more done on the moon garden itself, including getting the bridge integrated, and getting the cottage pad level. I've got a long way to go on the moon itself, but its coming close to the time where I am going to have to install the lighting itself, which will be a bit of a puzzle.
