Love that door! I'm going to have to figure out some industrial door for the 4th level (landing dock) of my big dio shelf, I may have to copy you.

I have been commissioned by 3 clients all wanting rooftop dioramas, so I have cut out and started to prep 2 of them as the 3rd needs to be slightly larger than the original one I made. I've finished adding the magnetic tape and cutting the notches out on them both. I then cut the floor for both pieces and tomorrow I'll start adding the brickwork.

I've added the brickwork to the walls of the first rooftop, as I have previously each of the bricks are measured 1" x 0.5".  Now with that finished it is time to cut out the cornerstones to mask the magnetic tape.

Well, I've been away for a bit and come back to see that you have posted some amazing pictures of yet more amazing work. I really appreciate the WIP images, I'm taking notes Everything is looking fantastic as usual.

Thank you mate, I hope you'll enjoy the small up date to both!

Finished off the brickwork for the second rooftop then it was time to start cutting out the cornerstone pieces for both dioramas. 48 2"×1" pieces and 48 1"x1" pieces, I managed to attach 24 of each onto one model but I only managed one corner of the other before running out of time, to spend time with my family.

Each of the builds has its own webpage on my site, follow the links to see them both.

I really love how you use the foam cornerpieces to give dimension. They look great!

I've finished off adding the cornerstones to the second piece. I then cut 8 strips of 30 mm foamboard of 1.5" in height and various lengths for the ledge of the rooftop. Each piece has been glued to a wall panel, which then creates a slot for the roof tile to slot into. All I need to do is add a second underlayer of foam for the roofs and add tile patterns to each before making the top buildings.

This is looking fantastic.

Back to the front pages. I could so see some type of sniper up on top of this roof too.

Nice update. The "header" looks really good.

I've made three rooftop entrance buildings as well as etching tiles onto the roof. I just have a couple of things to do before I can start painting these two and start the third rooftop.
