I have placed magnetic strips to the base of each of the two walls and to the corresponding edges of the base piece, this is to make this diorama flat pack able.  I then cut three strips of 6mm foam board which I have used to create the tunnel for the left hand entrance.

Two corresponding  wholes where cut into the left wall which match up with the notches of the walkway, another piece of 6mm foam board was cut and placed onto the walkway to strengthen that section under the weight of the figures placed on it.

I cut a notch out of the walkway along the back wall for the left hand tunnel section to fit in.  The rear door way was also cut out along with two 6mm door frames for both entrances into the diorama.  Two long 10mm pieces of foam board where cut to create the central tower between each walkway, with a door cut out leading onto each level.

I've had a very busy weekend with this build to point where I can start painting this.
I'm breaking these into the sections that I've worked on.
With the all the main pieces cut, it was time to start developing and shaping them.  I started with the central tower, taking a compass and marking a quarter circle to the top corner.  I cut out the circles, sanding the them down and when combined together the tower now has a domed top.  Taking my carving tools I marked out paneling on either side, glued on the door frames, glued both pieces together.  A strip of magnetic tape was fixed to the edge of the tower and the another strip glued to the corresponding wall of the diorama.

The Back Wall
The walkway which runs the length of the back wall was glued into place and the back wall had panels and a couple of Dalek style consoles etched onto it.

The Walkway
I wanted to have a couple of windows that run the length of the walkway.  I started to etch into the 10mm foam, three windows but when I had finished I was not happy with the way they looked.  I wanted the windows to standout because I will be placing images of space into them therefore to accomplish what I had in mind, I cut a piece of 6mm foam and used it to build up the three windows.

A strip of 10mm foam board was cut into the shape of a hand rail, using a piece of sand paper I rounded the front edges.

A Dalek console
A couple of pieces of foam pieces where stuck  together and cut into a hexagon and markings etched onto it.  It was glued onto a plinth, where a hole was cut into the  base for plinth to stand in.

Completed Build
With all the pieces built and markings etched into them the build of this diorama is completed and now ready to be painted.

Thanks Ron.  I've been having great fun building this and been doing one hell of a Doctor Who marathon thanks to Netflix, researching and find the inspiration for this.  It's kinda an amalgamation of ideas from Dalek sets from all era's, stretching back from the 60's to present day.  Apart from giving it a complete black under coat, I am now wondering which way to go with the colour scheme?  Do I go for the a complete white look from the last Dalek episode with Peter Capaldi or a dark orange/brown from David Tenant's era?

Looks good to me. Man the detail you going on in this is awesome. Running out of time this morning, but trying to load this up to the front pages.

With the building work completed it was time to start painting this, I first gave all the walls a coat of black paint.  I have learnt from working with this type of insulation board that you can not use ordinary spray paints to cover vast areas, you need to use watered down acrylic paint or in this case a can of chalkboard spray paint.  I find this type of black spray paint, it doesn't dissolve the foam board as a can of Humbrol acrylic spray does.  Once the walls and walkway were sprayed, I used a white spray paint to coat the floor.

Once this had dried I mixed up a very light grey acrylic diluted with water, then taking a sponge I went over all the areas I required it on.

Then taking my airbrush where I had mixed up a orange/green/silver mix, I sprayed over the recently grey painted area’s.  With the base coated completed I can now start building upon this.

After leaving it over night to dry, I placed it back together to get an idea on how that nights work looked and where to take it from there.

With the exhibition drawing near I'm working on this every possible free moment I have.  With the base coat dry, I began painting random wall panels using a combination of silver, gold, light and Gun Metal grey.  While they were drying I airbrushed the console, the walkway and windows with a rose gold.
