Well, it's that time of year again when I start thinking about what presents to make for my girls. The first one is for my oldest daughter. She is a Robert Jordan "Wheel of Time" book fan, and likes the Prime series as well. So I am attempting to create a booknook of the dead city Shadar Logoth from the first season. My inspiration for this theme came from a fantastic nook built by Tanya Chilton. Her rendition of Shadar Logoth was so good that I was literally stunned. I had to try my hand at one. This is my version, based on the screen shots I could find from the program series.

Sequence:
There is a lot more to do. There is scatter terrain that must be added like fallen stone blocks, rubble, dirt, wagon wheel(s). I will need to construct and decorate the case. Also the forest scene beyond the tear in the rear wall, the lighting, battery bank and switch.
Update: I added the 6 characters from the series season 1, episode 2 that showed Shadar Logoth.

| The front is attached to the slide-in nook itself. when fully inserted, it closes the case. |

| Painted with a textured stone spray paint. The picture is glued on and decoupaged with gloss ModPodge |
I believe this is my favorite build to date! Here are some screen shots from the show of the city and characters:
