The Junkube returns.

Straight-on views of the upper faces.

I see the top of a syringe plunger,
the on/off indicator of a shower switch,
part of a razor blade,
a metal strip from inside a battery compartment,
the lid of a pencil lead case,
some cogs,
and an air-freshner strength adjuster piece.

More from the Hut on Mound...
...that, while it deserves it, probably won't get a proper name any time soon.

For the windows I used actual tissue paper, with wire (painted and then) glued on for support and then glued into the frames.

These windows work nicely with the LEDs inside, producing a nice glow.

More views of Bilbo from this diorama.

The scenery is mainly layers of cardboard, cut in harsh shapes, covered with tissue paper/PVA and then textured with plaster.

May the 8th be slightly late for you.

Scratch-built original lightsabre prop.

Just thowing some random junk pieces together to make something that resembles "a" lightsabre, rather than trying to replicate any particular one.

Included a sprung trigger, so a "totally" works.

Mirkwood Book Nook.

To display the Mithril-Miniatures figures of Elrond and Thranduil I built a book-nook.

Scratchbuilt trees and some elven architecture.

Built the box first, with planning for the interior. Then built and painted the two halves before closing them together.

Refinery?

The question mark is deliberate, as I was just sticking stuff together with no real idea of what I was building. What I ended up with looked a bit like a refinery of some sort.

The doorway was from a Rhino, and there's a few cast details. But there is also sprue pieces, drinking straws, wires and plastic test tubes across the model.
