Tales of Skyealloland

I worked more on my fantasy medieval tavern. I knew I needed another wall, since all my dolls together don't fit in the tavern. I decided a wall with a door would be interesting. I could use it as exterior wall and as an interior wall.  With a door, I knew I needed hinges. I searched only for a few 3D printer files for hinges. One set looked perfect for my door, but it was a "print in place" type hinge that I knew at small scale would wind up nonfunctional. I also found a printable 3 piece hinge. So I printed each at about 33% scale. They came out very small but I was able to assemble the 3 piece hinge using a straight pin for the center. I then purposely busted the larger print in place hinge to glue to either side of the small hinge. I made the wall out of foam board and true to most my foam board projects, it began to warp.

Rosali and Butterscotch went on the trail through the Lincoln National Forest campground. I wish I had took some photos of her next to the horse, like leading the horse on the trail. Maybe next time. I also did not drag them up the hill at the nature reserve, but I did get some really nice pictures that would have been perfect with a doll. You'll just have to image they are there.
