#desertbuscraftalong — Public Fediverse posts

It’s time for @desertbus.org again! This year, I’ve made a shift clock for the #craftalong. The inner dial rotates so you can change when the shifts change in your time zone.

I also made some other faces for it, so it looks good all year.

It’s being given away next Friday the 21st

Finished gluing together the wall and added a floor! They're separate pieces and will get primed and painted separately for maximum flexibility.

Next up, breaking out the polymer clay to add detail to the wall and one of the upper arches. The eye is going to need a few more passes, but I need to make sure I can sculpt over it cleanly.

Also, wow, there sure are a lot of things with this lion motif. It's probably fine.

Slowly working on gluing/epoxying down the "stones" to a more permanent backing, and doing a rough test fit in the frame to confirm it's fitting like I want.

Spent this afternoon doing a few more casts, and cleaning some goo off of some poorly cured bits. I think I'm mainly good for the walls!

Playing around with the exact layout, after a second round of casting. I'll need another round to hopefully finish things off, at which point I can hopefully start assembling things more permanently.

Decent weather and a trip to TAP Plastics for 2 part quick set resin means it's a great time to start casting pieces for the backdrop.

I could do this on the 3D printer, I guess, but I've got the molds, and it's way faster for me. 😁

Marcille! I have someone failed to take photos of the Senshi I've also finished (awaiting sealer), but I can fix that soon.

We have Chilchuck! He's, well, chilling.

Next up, a painted Laios. (Don't worry about the obvious printer attach points on the back - I was still getting used to the printer, and they won't be visible in the diorama.)

A pair of little walking mushroom friends. If by "friends" we mean "future lunch, probably".

Dryad fruit says how you doin'? 👄

So anyway I'm slowly getting going on this diorama.
