Thanks guys, time to crack on with floor, will post pictures in bit.

This morning was another 6:30 start but with great results. Mixing up a grey with a hint of blue, went around each flag stone, washed over the imperfections in the foam board, then went over the entire base with a black wash.

From what I remember of Mortal Kombat, it's a very bloody game, so this set would not be complete without stains of blood covering the floor. Mixing up a combination of deep red and burnt umber, I went over floor, paying attention to the areas where the spikes are on the floor and on the pillars. Even staining the bridge with a little blood.

For its transportation to the States, the nails will not be going with it but I had to place nails into the pillars, just to know where to place the blood. Not just to see how it all looks 😉.

I have gone over the base with a black acrylic to try and keep the base from bowing. I just need to check with the client if he still wants the back wall creating or if he's happy with it being open plan.

Some more pictures before being told by my client whether he wants a back wall or not.

Hi
With my eldest daughter visiting me for 3 weeks I thought I would take a little time off, or so I thought. My daughter asked if she could help me construct a diorama or two while she is here and this is what we did.
Taking black foam board and cutting it into three wall, we marked out the brick on three of the pieces and the carved into board. The other three pieces were used as a second layer to strengthen the boards. We then cut in between some of the bricks and then pulled then apart to destroy parts of the walls and use them as rubble for the floor.
I used two pieces of balsa wood for the floor, scoring the wood gently to make it look like floor boards.

Over the next couple of days, I will be teaching my daughter to coffee stain, spray paint the walls, put a Perspex window with window frame.

This is a wonderful surprising father and daughter project. Can't wait to see what we come up with next!

  Looks awesome! Sounds like great quality time.

[RCWCreations]

It was JD, she is with me for another 2 weeks and would like to do a couple more before she goes home.  It's been a long time since we did anything like this.

Now that is pretty cool. Awesome to see other family members, especially kids get involved with customizing. Off to share.

Thanks Tamer, I had the biggest smile on my face watching her working with one of the walls.

[Starchaser]

Great dio work. I really think the Mortal Kombat space looks fantastic. I also really think the wok you did with your daughter looks great - way to go getting her involved!

[RCWCreations]

Thanks Starchaser.

I did a little solo work last night on this wall, scored out the brick work, added a couple of bullet holes.  Two more walls to do before adding paint to it.

I received my new Steve Trevor for the latest DC Multiverse range and couldn't resist seeing how he fitted into it. Worked rather well!
