This prop was made for the Beach Blanket Ka-Blammo mini diorama we had at the JoeCustoms table during the 2014 Joe Con in Dallas. I had everything I was sending all boxed up and ready to go, but I could not for the life of me stop obsessing with doing a Silent Sand Castle, the Cobra desert compound in the comic and the cartoon. The fact it didn't have to look perfect because it is supposed to be a sand castle made it the perfect practice project to hone my skills. Even so, a lot of the details were lost once I painted it and added some real sand. The merlons along the battlement were completely filled in. Then my daughter kept trying to use it as a play camera.
