I recently built a small sculpt of Finn, my first D&D character, using Super Sculpey Firm over aluminum wire and foil armature. It turned out really well, but I definitely need to practice small scale sculpting.

Some friends and I finally built our fort. Two hours and dozens of boxes later it was finished.
The pizza box functions as a camouflaged door. We have a cardboard tube canon, a bubble wrap covered lookout equipped with a pair of binoculars, and a mailbox. It was an insanely fun project.

I found a brand new Brinks door lock to practice with a few weeks ago. I first removed all but one pin so that I could get a feel for how much force is really required to cause the pins to bind. Surprisingly, it took no more than merely the weight of my finger pressing against the tension wrench and just a small movement from the pick to get it open. I slowly added pins until I can now pick a full 5 pin door lock.
