Thanks buddy, means a lot!

Last night I started a new little project, for 3.75” figures. Using insulation foam board, I’ve cut a piece 6” x 12” for the wall. Marked out and engraved the brick work onto the front. Cut out a doorway, made up a small wall to sit behind the door, used the cut out for a small wall behind the door. The base is another piece of foam board 9” x 12”.

Great start. Let me go share this.

With the build up to Christmas, I was able to sneak in sometime with my diorama. The time was spent bricking the floor and adding detail to all the brick work. Taking an ordinary pen and cutting the of the end, this was placed through the outer wall to act as ventilation pipe.

Almost ready to start applying paint to it.

That wall detail is fantastic. Off to share the latest.

I can't wait to see this one when it's completed and as always awesome work.

Thanks Ron, sorry for the late reply its been a combination of work and the build up to the silly session.

The other day, I found some time to grab a spray can and give the alleyway an undercoat of black, once its dried I can start to apply washes to build up the brick work.

While waiting for the paint to dry on my Alleyway project, I thought I’d start my next project. The Guardian from the classic Star Trek episode City on the Edge of Forever.

s you do on Christmas morning, wake up at 5 am and while everyone is still sleeping decide that the best thing to do is work on my latest diorama.

Taking foam base I cut out yesterday, I’ve covered the front with bits of rolled up newspaper. This will be covered with modroc strips. I like using this because it does produce a wonderful rock look. Before I cover the Guardian I want to try to add LEDs into it, as they did in the original episode. This might not work but the cost of these lights, I’m not fussed if it doesn’t.

Now that was a great way to use your time. Off to share. The lights look great.

The building is coming along great but damn mate I am loving the Guardian and the LED's is a excellent idea, top notch work buddy.

Thanks Ron, wondering how the LED's will look after I have applied the plaster of paris stripe?

Mornings all!

While trying to digest all the food consumed over the past two days, I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to breakout the paintbrush and crack on with this.

Mixing up a blue/grey acrylic, a coat was applied to floor. Then mixing some burnt umber with the grey, this was then applied to the wall. A lighter grey was made, this was used for several dry washes across the floor and walls. Gently pulled apart cotton wool was used as steam coming out of the pipe in the wall with a combination of grey and black paint dabbed into it.

I’ll put together the usual white screen pictures later on today but in the mean time please enjoy these pictures.
