From TashaH: A Mysterious Neighbour {Star Yacht} [Mars] (71 points)

Wow! Only 3 weeks left, time to get a wiggle on if I want to complete everything I have on my desk!

This lovely little Halfling would like to board Lady Sarah’s Star Yacht for transport to her home planet of Mars. 

While she is a lovely individual, she does keep to herself and appears to be rather stand-offish. I wonder what her story is?

 

After departing the Star Yacht, she is happy to be home and takes a wander through her garden. Very odd indeed. 

 

Oh, what’s that in the distance? 

 

Is that friend, foe, relative? Are you going to ask? I’m certainly not!

Tired from her travels, the Halfling retreats to her crystal cavern. She raises her ever present goblet and enjoys the solitude. 

 

———

I sculpted the mushroom garden and dragon’s hideaway out of air dry clay. The mushrooms are mdf cut-outs which were primed and painted. Other than the mushrooms, I sculpted everything else. The roses and rocks were quite fun to create. I used clear nail polish for the lake, on the side of the hideaway, to give the water that shimmery look. It kind of fell short of the effect I was going for, but I’m glad I tried it. I did learn the hard lesson that you should not build anything directly on your base, as air dry clay shrinks as it dries. As such, there is a LOT of glue holding these on. There were many cracks!

 

 

 

 

The crystal cavern is an aquarium toy that I primed and painted. I was watching a YouTube video where they used aquarium toys and I was at the pet store the next day!

The Halfling and dragon are, no surprise here, WizKids figures!

I am going to jump into the maelstrom and see where Tamsin drops me!

That halfling lass and the dragon are both really sweet, and I simply love the handmade and re-purposed terrain.

With that in mind, I'll be benevolent and drop you at LV426. "LV426? Benevolent? But, that takes Tasha from the Inner Ring back to the Middle Ring!" I hear people cry. Yes, well...
