I really like that you are doing the slave quarters. I have a feeling that it's gonna be awesome.

That's coming together beautifully!
So where do you acquire all of your materials?  That looks like... foam board?

I've seen foam board at Michael's and a few local art stores, but it's generally pretty expensive stuff!  Any tips you'd be willing to share on competitive deals?  ;D
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.

Home depot  you get 4'x2' and it comes in a pack of 5 for about $7.50 for the pack you'll find it in the insolations part of Home Depot.  Micheal's to expensive it like $8.00 for one 1'x3'

Groovy!  Thanks for the tip!  I should have figured it would be Home Depot.  :P

JTrooper this whole series of buildings is just fabuloso! Back on the front page and I can't imagine the size of this if you arrange them into a full settlement. Just outstanding. Thank you for sharing them with us. Back on the fp.

We definitely need to get you on CAFN sometime to talk about your diorama building. You would be another excellent person to add to our Diorama Roundtable we are arranging with Spooky, R1bb1t, and Wardog.
