After my modest success with the 1/64 scale shipping pallets, I was thinking about what else I could try to make, and settled on a Jersey barrier and an arcade cabinet. Turned out pretty well.
These are the result of hours of work over a couple evenings. Desktop hobby plotter-cut cardstock & 0.4 mm sheet styrene parts. And Tamiya putty, solvent glue, superglue & acrylic paint.
The Jersey barriers were extremely fiddly and difficult to assemble, though if I make more, I think I've figured out a simpler way to do them.
The arcade cabinet was slightly easier, but seems bare without any graphics or colors on it.
I've realized it's very helpful to put a tiny magnet in the base of these things, to hold them to a stick while painting.

A young dragon that voyages into lost and forbidden parts of the astral plane, or the space between stars, returns transformed into a horrifying star-famished beast. Leaning into cosmic horror, this dragon's theme is the unceasing hunger of a black hole, and the otherworldly awe of pulsing nebulae and dying stars. This is an aggressive beast that locks down its prey with gravitational power and light channeled from beings that live in pulsing, dying stars.

Sometimes, you just need to make a horrid beast. I know this is now incredibly late for Smaugust 2023, but when I saw a vacant-eyed, hollow dinosaur toy screaming at the sky I knew it was right for the prompt "Eldritch". But, I wanted to sidestep the expected 'tentacles like Cthulhu' approach, and so instead I used limbs from a toy lobster and other insects to give it some bony mandibles. The tongue was made by using a leftover tail from the dino that went into a previous build, with a UV resin coat, including a drip along a strand of transparent cotton to give it an icky strand of saliva.
The goal for this build was to gross myself out while making it, and to create a monster that implies something worse out there. And I admit that I love to hate looking at this one.
And with that, my Smaugust work is done for 2023. I'm planning on taking a short break from scratchbuilding to finish some sculptures and other WIPS.

Some photos of my recent scratchbuild, it’s an action figure type guy and he can move around
I don’t have much of a story for him besides he’s a bounty hunter (thrilling and original concept I know)

Quick progress report: I’m building a Slaughter-class cruiser! I’m taking photographs of just about everything I do on this build with a view to producing a full tutorial somewhere down the line, in case any of you ever wanted to see how the sausage is made.

getting quite tempted to pursue “clusterized helsingard” as a kitbash/scratchbuild project…

Painted the soda machine, though I'm not entirely satisfied with the paint job. Not finished, needs some tidying up and a bit more detail. Also kinda wish I'd made it a Pepsi machine, not a Coke machine. Also did a tiny bit of touch up work on the arcade cabs.

The Walking House
Desde lejos se escucha el sonido chirriante de sus articulaciones avanzando. No hay relieve que la detenga y sus ocupantes se sienten a salvo de cualquier peligro que rodeen sus patas. Inexpugnable como una fortaleza, sutil en su andar como un ciervo precavido. Camina la casa caminante sin necesidad de un camino.
Tres personajes particulares conviven en ella. El viejo sabio, conocedor de las escrituras mecánicas y alquimias antiguas, que la construyo, vestido con pesadas túnicas luce una frondosa barba blanca que asegura nunca a tocado el filo de un metal. Vive para y por sus estudios, y solo se detiene para comer alguna vitualla.
El enano, traficante de pociones, medicinas y sustancias, que ha tomado para si el más alto de los altillos, cuyo carácter irascible solo es comparable a la más exitosa de las sustancias explosivas que comercia. Su enojo y su cara de pocos amigos permanente, solo cede ante la dulzura de la tercera de la casa.
Es la joven que endulza sus vidas, cuya edad se desconoce y parece nunca cambiar. Hermosa como el primer día de primavera, se ocupa de sus dos compañeros y las tareas de la casa Le gusta cantar pero siempre y aunque intente cambiarlo, termina con la misma e hipnótica canción que no recuerda haber aprendido nunca. Viste largas y permanentes faldas que ocultan dos patas de cabra con la que ha sido maldecida y que la averguenzan.
El curioso artefacto camina de dia y al caer la noche detiene su andar dando descanso a los oídos de quienes la ven avanzar. Las manadas de lobos que han invadido el paisaje la rodean tratando de cortarles el paso pero la casa caminante los ignora. Las bestias lo han cambiado todo llevando a los humanos a refugiarse tras altísimos muros y vivir confinados y llenos de temor. Pero la casa conecta aquellos puntos sin que nada le afecte mientras ven como el paisaje cambia a su alrededor dia con dia llevando comercio y conocimiento a cada refugio humano. Viendo salir el sol que los pone en marcha en cada nuevo horizonte y viendo llegar la noche de igual manera, cuando el último chorro de vapor tiñe sus oxidadas articulaciones antes del reparador sueño de sus coloridos pasajeros.

Next up: LBF 60' double door boxcars! I snagged these from eBay, no trucks, no roof, no weights, just decorated bodies. The plan is to keep the NS decorated boxes intact, and reletter the three without the logo for TTX. We'll see how it goes.
