THE LITTLE FOXES
Being an older sister and having raised two girl, I knew that once my middle granddaughter, Ellie, created Hagid's Hut room box, her little sister, Grace, was going to want to make something too.
For the past four years or so my youngest granddaughter has been absolutely crazy for red foxes. (This started long before the "Mr Fox" film was released.) So I wasn't surprised when our Grace said she wanted to use little foxes, but they must be realistic. No fantasy stuff for this eight-year-old.
Ultimately, online I found a pair of ceramic fox kits that were the right scale. She wanted the box to have two tunnels. "They need an extra one in case of emergency," she insisted.
Our first attempt was made in a large plexiglas ballot box from TAP plastic. Grace formed a den from wire mesh, which she then covered inside and out with paper clay and set on the bottom. After placing plastic tubing to serve as tunnels, the box was filled with potting soil.
Because I make miniatures there's an entire drawer in the garage filled with woodland supplies -- rocks, trees, shrubs, gravel -- from which to choose. Unfortunately, the moss she used gave off too much moisture and condensation quickly appeared on the walls of the box. After retrieving the foxes and woodland items; we trashed the plastic box and went to Plan B.
Her new scene was created inside a traditional wooden room box, which I first sealed with enamel paint. A sheet of paper showing blue sky with white clouds was glued around the sides.
Again, Grace created a den from wire mesh, set it on the bottom, then began filling the box with paper clay. To keep down the weight, underneath unseen areas were filled with styrofoam. A piece of plastic tubing was pressed into the clay to create the single tunnel. Grace mixed the paint color for the dirt herself.
It was her idea to add the snow. What fun she had pressing the fox's feet into it, making tiny footprints across the landscape. It was the den floor that had her the most troubled. What do foxes sleep one? Grace settled for a little bark.
It will be summertime before the two girls come again to stay a week. I wonder what their next projects will be.

1:8 - Neon Genesis Evangelion [3 Years After]: Asuka Soryu Langley in pink plugsuit (kit conversion) - Work in progress
What I like about this figure is its sitting pose on the barrier, just with one shoe tip on the ground. The kit comes complete with figure and the barrier, but I want to present the figure on a small base, what will also make the final installation easier and improve overall stability.
Here, the barrier has been fitted without glue and the figure's legs have been attached to the torso with a rubber band, in order to check out the basic space the complete arrangement would need on a base.
As base options, I had two MDF shields (from a hobby store - these are actually door signs, for individual painting and decoration), a round an oval one, and the oval one shown here has won the race since it is the smaller one of both and allows a neat and asymmetrcial arrangement of barrier and figure.
The floor/surface will probably be decorated with simple concrete and maybe a grate as an extra, nothing flashy or distracting, since the pink figure will (hopefully) become the central eye catcher.
