BSC 2025 Spinal Tap's Wizard's Mobile Home

[Spinal Tap]

Will finalise which idea is to be my build as soon as possible.

Good luck.

[Spinal Tap]

Thanks has.been, you too.

Along with everyone else of course.

So roughly, I'm looking at Hagrid's Hut on AT-AT legs...... or something similar.


Away from home for a few more days so will put up some rough sketches in the coming days to, hopefully,  solidify the build in my head.

This is something I have wanted to build since discovering Sheelba Of The Eyeless Face. I'll now spend a bit of time living vicariously...

[Gunbird]

Your idea is giving me Baba Yaga vibes, looking forward to seeing what you make of it

At least it is not on Chubby Baby Legs.   

[Spinal Tap]

Never heard of Sheelba before but have added the Hut to my list of inspiration now.


Baba Yaga I had heard of and this build will be similar but, hopefully, individual enough in itself.

At least it is not on Chubby Baby Legs.   

Possibly not quite that individual though

After Aircav's detailed CAD work, here's my less technical build plan.

It may not be CAD, but it is still more preparation than I have done, or probably will do.

This.

I haven't even got a thread 

[Spinal Tap]

So some cutting, sanding and gluing has occurred over  the past couple of days to start getting the legs done; some wooden beads, chopsticks and clothes pegs for the feet.

Don't take this the wrong way, but... those knees look how mine feel.

[snitcythedog]

I like how this is moving along.  Nothing like the chubby baby legs that I envisioned. 

[Wirelizard]

Really liking this start, and the difference already between these legs and the cool kitbashed legs in Snitchy's project!

Yeah, I just bodge stuff together and hope for the best - a bit of Bob Ross's happy little accidents are my friends.

Everyone else seems to have a more measured approach.

Wasn't sure how to do the walls of the hut regarding window and door placements but finally came up with using EVA crafting foam as you can glue anything to it.

Plan is to put in the windows and doors and then attach the outer and inner walls on, sandwiching the foam - fingers crossed, eh?
