Started some work on the base of it now.
Here's the bottom of it.
Clear plastic with some bark.

And the cave entrance.

And the cave with the dragon for scale

Coming along nicely!

Here is the cave mostly finished. Paint needs to be added, snow and some icicles too. I think I may skip the burnt tree depending on how quickly the paint goes on. It will be my first time using snow effects too so I hope it goes alright. I may practice on something else first.
Pics with a grenadier barbarian for scale.
I've got skewers for stability and to hold up the roof. They seem to have worked fairly well.

I'm thinking of keeping the back open for whenever I get the urge to make a cave system out of bark. This will be a great entrance for it. My son keeps on asking me to make a game out of it so it could be fun for some sort of campaign system dungeon crawl. Find the cave, enter the cave, get the treasure, escape the cave blah blah blah.

Shaping up to be an impressive diorama.

Probably my last update before either submission or failure

Undercoated the cave in Grey.
Before undercoating I got my hacksaw out and chopped off the overhanging pieces from the rear of the cave.

I like the cave; looking forward to seeing it finished.

Finished the painting earlier today and put a few finishing touches on it. Looks good, however my 6 year old said all the other entrants are better

Can argue with the honesty of children.

Just make sure he doesn't vote then

Im glad your nearing the end of your build beefcake. The bark looks fantastic.

I actually prefer it to the 'Cork" and "fish tank terrain" honestly, the strata is a very nice effect.

Cheers
Matt

Just the feet and teeth to go on the dragon, then painting and its done.

Claws, teeth and painting left to go. Sculpting should be done tomorrow and then I'll give it a lick of paint. Should be an easy paint job.

Entry submitted just now. I had sculpted a little snowman to go in it too but forgot to attach it.

oh well.
