WIP update

Almost finished painting the first coats onto the buildings and road, while printing off 6 more window frames.

When the paint is dry I will be adding the washes over all surfaces.

Apologies for the lack of figures in these pictures but paint is still wet

Very nice. This is getting close to being done.

Off to share.

WIP update

I’ve made a lot of painting progress over the past couple of days. I added a brown wash over the bricks and pavement, and a black wash over the cornerstones. While that was drying, I cut a hole into the foam and glued the rim of the manhole cover.

Today I’ve dry brushed a light brown over the bricks, a light grey over the pavement, cornerstones and the on top of the wall. I sponged a light grey over the road and one of the doors.

I then turned my attention to some of the accessories that I’ve printed off. The window frames have been painted a dark grey, the small oil barrel, drain, manhole cover and rim with metallic grey. The AC units I’ve started to paint white but I’m waiting for another 2 to finish printing. I’ve primed two drainpipes.

It’s getting there!

That's outstanding. I love that you are printing AC units and other bits, they look spot on. Great job so far!

[Tamer]

Looks real to me.

WIP update

Here’s what it looks like so far.

I’ve painted the doors buts need to dirty them up and add door handles. Added corrugated cardboard for garage door. Painted the pipes, ac units and windows. Need to add wires and fuse boxes. I have some more accessories to make and paint and I’ve bought a couple of mini desk lights which I’m going to break down and use as lights above each of the two doors.

The dead spaces and what to do with them? The original idea was to add tissue paper over the all the windows and leave it but not sure now since I have JJ Jameson hanging out of one.

Nice. Man this just keeps getting better and better.

Back to the front pages.

Thanks Shawn

WIP update

I’ve been working on the accessories, first I’ve added 2 LED lights, one above each of the doors. I’ve added a double fuse box with wires running to the AC unit, up the wall and disappear behind the building. On the other building a single fuse box with a wire running up the wall and again disappears behind the building. A switch and cable running up towards the garage door

I’ve started painting another oil drum, then cut a couple of pieces of foam and turn them into wooden panels to cover up two bottom widows on the right building.

A few more little bits to do on the exterior and then I’ll work on the building interiors.

Still going strong. Off to share yet again.

The lights are brilliant (no pun intended). I really like the fuse box, that really adds to the realism of the diorama - great job. This is going to be an amazing diorama when its finished. Keep up the good work.

WIP update.
With the exteriors finished, I’ve been busy printing and making accessories. I’ve made pallets (which need painting) and trash bags and another oil barrel but thinking of making another couple. For the past couple of days I’ve been printing a street light but the base is a little bigger than I had hoped. I’m just printing off the glass dome for the top and then I can add a led in it.
