Topic: RCWCreations diorama's

[RCWCreations]

I've been asked to build a Star Wars diorama for a friend's son to display his 3.75" figures on. So I'm building him an Imperial Bunker because nothing is better than the Rebels infiltrating an Imperial compound!

It's will be 16" high, two levels plus a rooftop landing platform. Garage and side door entrance and has to be ready in two weeks! I like challenge!

So far I've cut variation of 14" high lengths, widths of 6", 4" & 3", cutting out doors and windows. Then gluing this all together as one piece.

I can already see this is gonna be a fun one. Nice start.

This is going to be awesome! I'm eager to see how you tackle the landing platform. That's something I'm debating myself.

I've cut two 10 mm panels (14" x 9") and then two 6mm panels of the same size, glued the 10mm & 6mm together for the walls. The cut out the floor on a pieces of 10mm then glued it onto a piece of 6mm. Leaving this to dry over night before carrying on.

I've added a platform where a Canon can be mounted and a viewing balcony demonstrated here by Grand Admiral Thrawn.

I have added a layer of 6mm foam board to the inside of the front wall, not only to strengthen but also a guide for the first floor to sit in between.

This looks good. I like the new platforms. Off to the front pages.

The log cabin looks...real. Fantastic work on this build. The new Star Wars display is going to be wonderful. I really like the balcony.

Just realised I had not posted for a while, I have cut out four windows with frames and installed them into the walls.  I have stained the frames to weather them, painted the edges of the base black and lightly sprayed brown over the ground.

Not my usual final pictures but due to the piece itself I thought outside pictures would be more appropriate.

Using G.I.JOE #31 as a point of reference, Destro and Firefly Fortnite's Havok) storm Snake Eyes cabin.

I've started to add the detail to the front of the compound, while building up the sides so they aren't flat walls.

I've built a central console for the first floor. With the shape made, I can start adding in the detail before adding a small roof to the structure.

Wow, great work on two fronts. Nice job.

Off to share them on the front pages.

An Imperial Compound? Reminds me of a mini game I used to play on my smartphone years ago. And I only had a three games on it ever. This looks like a phenomenal project already! It's incredible how much you produce, RCW! You're like a diorama factory! I'm going to build some more buildings for my dad and his G scale model train. Maybe that's something you can make money from as well! I'm sure there are some model train fans in the UK, too!
