Thanks JD

Yesterday I had the idea to put two lights at the bottom of the steps leading into the station. These are made using polystyrene balls, with a base coat of white and then a yellow wash once dry.
Light blue tissue paper has been used and glued over the backs of the windows and another coat of black paint has been added to the rears of each wall.
Finally each peace has been glued to the base, all I have to do are the final little touches to this before declaring it finished.

What can I say. It looks great. I made time to put this at the top of the page this morning. I really like the lights. Off to share.

The final touches added and final shots are in!

And finally, in true Batman style!

Pretty sweet if you ask me. It turned out great. Let me go share this in all the right places.

As sun sets on Gotham's GCPD Precinct, the sun rises on the Arashikage dojo. Scaled for Gi Joes 3.75" figures.

So far I cut out my centre piece (if someone can give me the correct name I would very grateful!) Using Snake Eyes to model for me this evening, it's perfect size for meditation. Now my thoughts are do I have this positioned central or to size. I bought some cheap bamboo place mats to use as flooring but seeing these, I'm not sure whether to use them for some type of wall covering?

[Tamer]

Wow, already at work on a new one. Looking good already. Off to share.

[JDeck]

LOVE IT! the Torii gate you made looks really good. I like the bamboo mat idea. Can't wait to see more.

Gotham Police Station turned out brilliant mate and I can't wait to see what you do with the new dio.

Thank you Ron, JD and Tamer.

I got a little sidetracked this weekend!  I recently acquired a G.I Joes 1986 Cobra Stun, the vehicle is in good condition but in need of clean.   The hatches had been supplied but they had been broken into pieces and it had one wheel trim.   It is missing two trims, both flags and the rear swivel gun.  After looking through sites eBay and forums on Facebook, I decided to cast some of the parts I needed, help improve my casting skills.

To start, boiled water was used to wash the entire vehicle.  I using the parts of the hatches which had been supplied, I was able to piece together a whole one.  I made up a couple of moulds using Blu-Stuff, the first mould of the repaired hatch, the second mould of the remaining wheel trim.

The first set of casts where made with sculpting putty, the wheel trims worked out well but the hatches weren’t working out the way I wanted.

The next set, I used Epoxy Resin, poured the mixture into the moulds and the results were fantastic, both hatches and trims turned out better than I could have asked for.

Next part of this project will be to paint the new accessories, either locate of make the flags and locate another rear swivel canon.

Doing this has helped me improve my casting skills, which I will be using when it comes to making the weapons for the dojo.

[Tamer]

Wow, that turned out fantastic. Great casting work! Off to share.

Thanks Tamer.

Last night I went back to working on the dojo. I cut the sides out and within every join I have placed magnetic tape, this holds the sides together and makes it completely collapsible. I have place the bamboo flooring down to see how it looks and work. I might place another layer on top of the bamboo to act as mats.
