Moving swiftly on with two more commissions and a Halloween special for myself:

Starting with a G.I.Joe Armoury

I’ve been commissioned to create an Armoury for the same customer whom I built the Cobra bunker for a couple of years ago.

This piece is made from foam insulation board, the base, walls and the steps I have used 10 mm foam board.  The basic structure is there, time to build upon this before adding LEDs and casting weapons.

I placed magnets in the walls to hold it together. Using two strips I have separated the armory into three sections, in between the strips are three more panels which I will mounts weapons onto before fixing them into place.

Re: RCWCreations diorama's: Friday 13th Scene

My second commission to create a scene based on Friday 13th:

I’ve cut two pieces of foam board 14? x 10? and glued them both together. I am using bolsa wood for the floor, which I have arranged the pieces around the floor plan I drew out. The gap in the floor will be for a wall with a door.

The back wall will be double sided with a window and I might put a small garden or something out the front.

Cut tabs into the bottom of both walls and slots into the base to marry up with the tabs. Cut a doorway into the smaller wall and a window into longer wall.

I was going to use bolsa wood for the floor but replaced that idea with 6 mm foam board. This secures the walls into place and stops them from moving around.

I added soil to the front of the house as a flower bed. On both sides of the set I drew horizontal lines 1 inch thick, scored into the lines using a pottery tool to look like planks of wood. I did the same with floor. Using a wire brush against the walls which gave them a lovely wood effect.

Using bolsa wood for the door frame and skirting boards. Along the bottom of front of the outside I used a length of wood.

And lastly my Halloween diorama:

I’ve glued together two pieces of foam board 16?x14.5?, cut a hole in the near middle 7?x 4?. Using a couple of pieces of foam to create a headstone.

Made a two more grave stones. Cutting four pieces of foam to form the walls of the grave.

To test my idea of what I wanted to achieve submerged grave into water added a fountain haser. The grave filled up with steam, I’m thinking raising the device to enable the steam to spill out from the grave. Adding my Ghostbusters zombie for added effect.

Built a waterproof box from foam board, glued together using hot glue creating a waterproof seal.  I ran hot glue across all the corners, sealing the inside of the box.

A layer of soil mixed with PVA glue was smeared across the surface and when dry a layer of moss will be added.

While waiting for the soil to dry I made a couple more grave stones.

Those are great! I agree with Tamer, the graveyard is particularly cool.

After raiding my garden for moss, after it dried out I've glued it on top of the soil.

Grave stones painted. When the moss is tried these will be fixed to base

Final headstone picture with the name of my best friend who died 3 years ago to cancer. I have also started to paint the box with black acrylic.

Finished adding the base coat then covered the soil area with moss and grass.

Next step is to carry on painting before adding in the window.
