From Martijn N: Arabian Nights on Arrakis (69 points)

That's a first for me, two posts on one day. We end today's journey on Arrakis, after a smooth ride aboard lady Sarah's Star Yacht. Now no Challenge can be complete without camels in it, I have gathered, so it is just as good that we immediately encounter this charming little market scene. We have a dwarf merchant showing his fine merchandise to some rather suspicious Arabs, while his camel train stands behind his stall.

Here is the dwarf merchant, a 3d printed figure from Iain Lovecraft. The stall is a 3d print as well but I really cannot remember where I got it.

These lanky Arabs are from Evan Carothers's Empire of the Scorching Sands.

As are these great pack camels.

There is also a little village on Arrakis, it seems. Designed by Evan Carothers too. These houses were printed at 75% of their designed scale, so more or less 20mm I guess. The well is not really Arabian but is a nice little model. Can't remember where I got it I'm afraid.

The houses are once again FDM prints and they suffered a bit from stringing and layer lines. Still, they were too good to toss them in the bin and I think they look sort of ok. 

So, Arrakis should net me 65 points:

- the terrain, the houses, the stall and the well, will fill about half a cube, so 10 points?

- 4 camels and three foot figures (counting them as 28/32mm, although they actually are more like 40mm) for 7x5 = 35 points;

- Arrakis planet bonus for 20 points

- and an Arabian Squirrel!

Middle Ring complete, let's see if there is time for a stop in the Inner Ring!

Book ending the day with camels - most excellent! I will give an extra bonus for the camels
