Kashifa bint Muad'ah travels through the Withering Woods of northwest Kaliphlin. Yay lazy stories! _________________________________________________________ Well, this scene was rather challenging to make. The size I picked for the tree was quite difficult to get right without any gaps, and several of the plates are just barely wedged on. Meanwhile, the whole tree is sitting on a single stud, and the giant roots are also attached to the tree by one stud each. Also, the root in the front of the scene- the plate on the tree that's attached to is very floppy. As in, I take off the root, and when I try to press it back on I warp the plates and press them into the center of the tree, and I have to remove the entire plate assembly- without knocking off any of the leaves. Oh, I didn't mention the leaves. To get the angles looking natural, none of the leaves are attached by more than one stud, and many of them are angled by a 1x1 clip attached sideways to the very end of a bar. Speaking of plants- all the flower stems are made of rubber. That means, when you put them somewhere, they never stay attached. They clip onto studs, so you think they'll stay attached, but no! They come off 5, 6 at a time when you try to do anything near them. End rant I don't have the pieces to make an entire live oak at this scale, so I made this section of broken wood to take care of the top. Most of the tree blew down in a storm last year, but what's left on the stump is still growing well. This scene is heavily inspired by the South Carolina Lowcountry. This tree has Spanish moss hanging from the leaves, and Resurrection ferns growing on the roots. (The ferns are way too big, but whatever :) Finally, a shot of Kashifa in the underbrush. Overall, except for structural issues, I'm quite happy with this scene. It's realistic, it's a decent size, and I personally think it looks pretty sweet. Thanks for looking!
