I've had a busy weekend.

Friday I mixed sand with PVA glue and water, the mixture was spread evenly over the tiles.  The first tiles done were the helicopter pad and one of the road tiles.  With the addition of the sand, it has trebled the weight of each tile.

After 48 hours the first two tiles are dry that applying sand to the other two tiles could begin. Due to the weight of the sand, I have had to add another piece of 600 x 600 5mm foam board to each of the four tiles to help strengthen them.

I have embedded a piece of foam board onto the tile which the bunker will be housed, it is then surrounded by sand giving the bunker a foundation to sit on.

Another couple of sand/water/PVA mixtures were made and spread evenly over the two remaining tiles.  Once they are dry I can start doing the final touches:

Paint touches to the road
A black border edges on each tile.

It's not finished but I had to put it together just to see how it looked and then I got a little carried away filling it with 80's Cobra figures and vehicles.  Tomorrow I hope to start the finishing touches before declaring this beast of a Cobra diorama completed and shipped out to its owner.

After seeing all the tiles put together there were some final paint touch ups to hide any exposed foam board.  A black boarder around the white foam board base, and a second coat of grey on the two borders of each tiles.  For the road and sand areas, I touched them up using a sandy brown hiding any exposed blue foam and to weather road.

With this done, I just have to make six barriers and then this diorama will be complete.

The final part of this commission build is to create eight barriers for my client to position where ever he would want them.  The barriers are made from 10 mm foam board, each one cut to 5 inch in length and 2 inch high (not including the base).  The base of each I have gone a quarter of an inch in, using a sharp blade I have cut diagonally across both sides to create a ramp (mind your fingers!)

With the 5 x 2" blocks, I have scored them on both sides at 2.5" from top to bottom, making them look like they are two slabs joined together.  In the centre of each slab a rectangular hole has been pressed in on either side.

So far I have created three of these, I aim to have the last five made by then end of the week.

As much as I’ve enjoyed working on this, I’m going to be glad when it’s done and arrived at his house. Biggest thing I’ve built (so far!)
