The Gotham dio looks very good.
I really like the bin bags in the alleyway.

Excellent work!

[RCWCreations]

Thank you FialaFernbrugg.
This morning I cracked on with bridge towers, while still in the development phase they are held together with masking tape.  The bridge will fit securely into each tower and rest onto of the three pillars. 

I am considering changing the three pillars from cardboard tubes and replacing them with three pillars of foam.

Once the development phase is complete, the next phase will be to strip the top layer of card off all the foam and carve stone slabs into them.

Looking good. This is really gonna be awesome when complete. I am sure the person you are building it for is pretty happy!

I really think your DC Dio is gonna be hard to beat for any city-scape. It has myriad uses. About the only new city dio I would make if I were you is a bombed out version after all the combat has happened.

[RCWCreations]

Thanks Tamer.

I had considered doing a bombed out building but I remember how disappointed you where when I did that with Max's castle and just couldn't do it to you again    I might do that a bombed out version but animated style to house my Batman Animated figures

If I hadn't have covered it in in Gotham style decals it really would be multi genre.  But for now I'll let The Batman make his mark on it.

Works for me. All you need now is the bat signal light on top of that building.

[RCWCreations]

Ha ha, funnily enough I'm currently looking for a Bat signal for my next piece.

The Pit is coming along nicely. Today was a succesful day, I stripped off the top layer of card from towers, bridge andf floor.  Once removed, I've started adding in the detail.  Removing the top layer, makes the foam board bow, to stop this, I have added a second layer of board to the bridge. 

The next part is turning the foam into stone pillars, to do this I have added a layer of modroc over each piece of foam and the wooden scure place through the middle of each to keep them straight.  Just need these parts to dry before adding details to the tops of the towers and a back wall.

Looks good to me. Off to share.

Coming together great and keep posting those WIP pics mate.

Thanks Tamer and Ron.

Don't worry Ron, I'll keep WIP's coming.

Update!

It's been a busy couple of weeks with work, grabbing time to work on this project has been difficult recently but when I have, my problems with work have melted away.
As you can see, I have made three grooves into the Pits floor for the pillars to sit into. For the top of each tower, a wall which each side of the bridge will now slot comfortably into.
All that is needed before painting this is to finish off the pillars and a back wall with a skyline.

Using customizing to relieve stress. I like it and your update. Off to share.

Thanks Tamer.  You're right, its a great way to forget about the world.

Thats the way I view this site as sometimes. It is so therapeutic to just get in here and see great artwork and imagination and the cares of the world just go away; if only for a little while.

Update to the Pit

This evening I waded a layer of modroc on the bridge, which will not only strengthen it but give it some wonderful definition of concrete. Then cutting strips of modroc and applying them to each pillar.

Once they are dry, I will sand down the bridge to fine within the enclave at the top of each tower, then workout a way to fit the pillars in place. But also making it shippable to the US.
