I airbrushed olive green over the exterior wall. While this was drying I started edging the floor with Games Workshops Calgar Blue, I then started edging the gargoyle head.

I remember missing the school bus watching ole Cobra Commander on his throne back in elementary school (wow, that was a few moons ago) and man this takes me back. Great work. Off to the front pages.

Wow, you're making instant Progress! Thanks for the update. As said before the gold looks awesome on the throne and I also like the red upholstery - making it look all royal, but still kinda evil. Unfortunately I don't know anything About M.O.T.U. so I suppose the Cobra Clan guy is bad?
Your walls always amaze me, too! I wish my playmobil walls had looked that realistic in my childhood, but they still came pretty close.
Love those little wall sections and dios you're doing! Really great stuff there to display your figures!

Thanks Phillip

Cobra Commander is the leader of a terrorist organisation called Cobra from the 80's toys G.I.Joe, back then we had awesome cartoons with some excellent bad guys: Cobra Commander, Megatron (Transformers), Skeletor (Masters of the Universe), Mummra (Thundercats), Shredder and Krang (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles).

If you like my walls, I have a little surprise for you ;-)

Finished edging the interior walls with Games Workshops Calgar Blue and then I dry brushed over all three surfaces with Baharroth Blue.

For the exterior wall, I went in between the rocks with watered down Abaddon black. I dry brushed over the wall with Elysian Green. The window ledge was base coated with Burnt Umber, layered with Gorthor Brown and edged with Rhinox Hide.

Using the molds of vintage MOTU weapons I made for a previous Grayskull build. I have used a two part resin to cast the weapons. After 20 minutes or so, I have gently peeled the casts out of molds and started to cut away the excess resin.

Once they have fully cured, each weapon has been gently sanded down. I have roughly placed the weapons I want to use on walls of the diorama. They are now ready to be painted and then permanently fixed onto the walls.

Indeed. that was a surprise! What a cool update! I took a close look at your walls and zoomed in - the texture looks most excellent, buddy! Your molds make great casts, too! Nice and cheap way to decorate your walls! I need to update my mold & cast thread, soon. Feel free to add to it, too!

I really enjoy your thread! The customs walls are nice pieces to look at!

Wow, this project has been turning out great too. Nice casting. You must feel like you can make anything you want. Off to the front pages.

Finished painting the weapons. I initially gave them an under coat of black, then a coat of silver. Once dry I shaded them with Games Workshops Nuln Oil and then edged with Stormhost Silver.
