Stop. For reals, just stop where you are and put the customizing tools down. This kinda work makes me jealous in a way few things do. It continues to be epic on a scale I fear I may not be able to tolerate much longer. Every post is more awesomer (that's right: awesomer) than the last.

WOW!  Michael Bay would be proud, sir! 

Fantastic work, r1bb1t!

Shawn, I read your kind words on the front page, and I must say... You never fail to melt my man panties. Thanks!

Barry you crack me up, good thing there is only one of you or I wouldn't be able to type or run this place for laughing all day long.

Every post is more awesomer (that's right: awesomer) than the last.

I couldn't have said it better Michael.

Darth Optimus, you are far too kind. Big thanks!

Thank you so much, User897! You flatter me.

Shawn, if loving you is wrong, I don't wanna be right! Ultra big thanks to you for everything that you do!


Next pic. Extended another 32 sq ft (grand total so far is 128 sq ft), started trench (8 ft long right now), and added explosion.



And the trench...







I struggle with photography more than anything. Thanks so much, everyone!

WOW!! Your DIO is simply amazing. The sfx explosions you created are like the cherry on a cake, there is so much going on in this dio, i can almost hear the sounds/audio of the battle. Very well made DIO. Congratulations and thanks for showing it.

[r1bb1t]

Thank you M4K3R1! I'm glad that you like it. Here is a video that I shot on how to do the explosion effect.

Thanks again!

Man... just... wow.  I think I would have to set up a motion-switch to start the soundtrack every time someone passed the door to the dio-room!  I can sure hear it playing in my head, looking at your pics!  Just looking at these pics makes me cold!  Keep raising the bar, man...  I knew I wanted to do backdrop work - so many dios would benefit greatly from a good backdrop.  And here you've shown how much one can add.  Stellar work!

Explosion plus how to do it video equals fantastico!

Thanks so much, Michael. I would set up a motion detector, but my lil dogs would raise Cain with it, lol.

Explosion plus how to do it video equals fantastico!

Thanks Shawn!

High corumba! Have you sold you sole man!?! This is now beyond epic! So far that I bet Thor sees this as he look out across the galaxies! Barry you have to come to C6 so we can hang out in the diorama room!

[Spookymufu]

I showed these pics to my snowtroopers and they are having flasbacks of the battle!

Awesome job!
