Carrie E, Big Craft EnergyCurrent completed status of minis and set dressing. I'm still working on things, of course!
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun Erika is painting on her home stream so now's as good a time as any to crush some more Nsbergians.
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun I stayed up way too late doing this, but please enjoy (left to right by row, top to bottom):
Muriel, the Old Wife
G-star
Lorna Schlitzwhistle
Granton Bumper
Bertha Burpwinter
Michael O'Leary
Ball Hinkley
Woman from Old Country
Dogeman
They all still need some highlights and detailing. #DesertBus #Qwerpline
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun I have some additional minis of Joan, Joy (in a copter seat), Jimmy Jams (from the Prank Patrol), and False Dimitri the IX (i.e. Kaylee) stuck on holders for priming. I've got more blank townsfolk minis, but at that point things will only get painted if I have time/need more space filling on the model. :D
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun I have begun to soft-fit "carpet" into the model. (The back of the broadcast room isn't attached yet - I want to be able to sight-check to make sure I don't accidentally sever wires when I tack the models down to the floor. The swearing would be *epic*.)

@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun Speed painting furniture for the diorama. TurboDork's Rainbow Roll metallic paint is rad.
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun So anyway I wallpapered a bachelor basement.
Now to paint and glue in thirteen million little pieces of furniture....
(I also finished soldering up wires but no pics of that.) #craftalong #DesertBus
The green channels are where wiring/LEDs are routed
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun More finished characters, Show Toilet(tm), and JOAN

@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun Slowwwly getting there with the building. Doors are in and sign is up! #Craftalong #DesertBus
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun So anyway enjoy a bachelor closet/pad/whatever, which I have put in the Qwerpline building basement. 😄 #DesertBus #Craftalong
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun I've very rapidly hit the point of "I'd like to be done with this project yesterday", so the gluing has begun! Enjoy these teaser photos of some gribbly bits I've started decorating with.

@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun Waiting on some glue to dry on the inside before adhering the roof to floor 2 but *excited twitching intensifies*

@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun Rum Tunnels. Just chock-a-block full of weed. #Craftalong #DesertBus
I may add fake standing water (resin) later if I have time.
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun The red light makes Joan look slightly murderous in her production room, but... honestly probably a feature??
Also enjoy some tiny posters for the walls. #DesertBus #Craftalong
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun More posters, drilling out the USB plug slot, and Mod Podge sealing the underground foam layer

@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun Finished the inside of the traffic Qwopter cockpit! #DesertBus #Craftalong
@desertbus @LoadingReadyRun I also snagged this honestly pretty neat looking "exploded" view of the assembly, prior to cutting down the dowels and gluing things in.
The foam and wood deformed enough that there were some pretty significant gaps between the layers, so I've added some gap filler and will be texturing and painting it in later tonight/tomorrow. :)

Judge Yuri 👩🏻⚖️@iris_of_ether @desertbus @LoadingReadyRun Is Joan unpainted or she's gray because she's "like the T-1000"? 😅 #QWERPLine #Nsburg
@Yuriel @desertbus @LoadingReadyRun She's grayscale because she's going to be looming in a dim room lit only by red LED. :D
DaveAndAHalf@iris_of_ether @desertbus @LoadingReadyRun a toilet is one thing, but will we get to see Rafael Crinklestouf’s Turd Kettle™️?
@DaveAndAHalf @desertbus @LoadingReadyRun (Un)fortunately the Turd Kettle Mobile did not make the cut, but I absolutely considered putting it in a parking space. 😆
@DaveAndAHalf @desertbus @LoadingReadyRun i guess I could check my bits bin to see if I've got a kettle in there, hahaha
@iris_of_ether beware the weeee-feeees!
@iris_of_ether ...and dream catchers and mandalas and her Etsy listing...
@Yuriel and _there_ it is. *disconnects interview*
N₂Osferatu@iris_of_ether love that you found the perfect Crazy Old Coot model for Ball.
@N2Osferatu I saw it and just immediately Knew.
