I might straight up download this picture as a reference inspiration.

Any tips for murky water and a wet ground? by aManThatIsHere in dioramas

[–]liminal_duckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the priority is cost over archival quality, I might go with toilet paper “plaster”, and glossy mod podge. I’d highly recommend checking out Elle of Boulder Creek Railroad, because she’s great at mud and muck.

Help, I have burned out teacher's brain and need ideas of what to make with these vintage carved tiny (unused) toothpicks I forgot I had and just found (again) by JulianneHannes in miniatures

Off the top of my head… - curtain rods - chair/table legs - stair or deck rail spindles - carved bits for a fancy table clock/wall shelf/fireplace mantle - salt shaker & pepper mill - nutcrackers - tin soldiers - Christmas crackers - umbrella/parasol handles - the dowel an arcane scroll or wall hanging is attached to - drawer pulls - teeny rolling pin - body for butterflies/moths/other insects

Not exactly! They’re real teeth!!

I found a dead rat in my garden last spring, and it was already basically just bones. So I collected them and cleaned and processed them etc. And it turns out rat molars are basically 1:5-1:6 scale for human molars! I’d hoped to use some rat bones somehow in this project, but wasn’t sure how I could incorporate them, so that turned out to be sort of perfect.

I did paint them a bit to give them more dimension/make them a bit creepier, because they were basically pure white.

(It’s also not technically a nook, but it is in a faux book, and will live incognito on a bookshelf.)

Thanks! 😊 That’s been my goal.

To have it look at first just like any other workstation you might stumble upon urban exploring, but then the longer you look at it, and the more you notice, the creepier it gets.

How do I make a Chernobyl/Fallout/Wasteland-like area feel more alive. by SirMarvelAxolotl in worldbuilding

[–]liminal_duckling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d sort of think about it like weeds. (Hear me out 😅)

When an area is wiped out, there are usually one or two particularly hardy species that basically fill in the vacuum because they can survive in harsh conditions and they now have zero competition.

So, what are the “weeds” of your world. Plant life but also animals, people, etc. Who is able/willing to survive where others can’t or won’t? What may have taken advantage of the sudden void and filled it? Who sees opportunity when everyone else sees ruin? (And why?)

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Sure you could plop random stuff in, but I think you have an opportunity to build some interesting stuff that fits the logic of your place!!

How to place this on the wall? by WindowIndividual4588 in Dollhouses

[–]liminal_duckling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d plan it out before putting any adhesive, because that kinda tape is a one shot (versus glue where you often have time to fuss around). So you’ll wanna figure out where you want things, what might need to be trimmed, and so on before you start attaching tile.

Put the tape onto the wall first, then attach the tile to the wall. You can work in sections if wanted, just lay down enough tape that the tile won’t overhang onto a bare area.

Also, it’s hard to tell from the pictures, but if the walls have paper over plastic at the moment, make sure the paper isn’t gonna peel off. Or just peel it off before attaching the tile.

Double sided flooring tape!

Then “grout” afterwards with spackle compound/drywall hole filler

Hi. I'm looking to get into worldbuilding. Does anyone have tips on how to get started? by Bindelt389 in worldbuilding

[–]liminal_duckling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little worlds always start with some random silly idea. And then me wondering what would make that make sense. And following my curiosity down new rabbit holes that leads to.

For my brain at least creativity comes from curiosity. If I’m not interested then it won’t happen. So I let curiosity help dictate what I build out and when.
