Here's the loot made of about 6 dollars:
I'm working on a utility package to contain basic tools (thread, needle, superglue, band-aids, knives, instant coffee etc), the flask is for that (to contain the 'medicinal' quantity of my favourite whiskey The Famous Grouse). It had a lighter too which I passed to my brother (smokes more than me and getting back 30% of the price was quite a deal).
This plastic fort costed 400huf (approx. 1.5$), it needs some 'optical tuning' which I'll do in the following weeks. Things to do are:
- Removing the ugly mold lines or covering them with foliage,
- Painting the stone surfaces (this is going to be a huge work, might basecoat with airbrush)
- Cutting off the upper half of the high tower and making a hourd on top,
- Balsa wood or pine planks around the battlements, also stairs suitable for small scale (this would require a lot of putty),
- Fixing the gate, filling the gaps where there are too many,
- Base the whole thing with smaller buildings around the wall. Might add the keep I built earlier.
Next thing is to find a place I could keep it. My shelves are getting crowded.
