I might have to try some sushi. It looks colorful enough, but I like my meat cooked!

Nice set piece though. Can't believe I didn't get this on the fp. I just need more hours in the day.

Thanks guys!

Narceron, the floor is a decal laid on a piece of card.

Jules that is outstanding I love what people come up with using items from everyday life.  As you know me I love things that look realistic when painted and you've done such a realistic job with this 10/10.

Hemble, thanks so much. I consider you as an old school customiser, you are a real craftman and so your comments really mean a lot.

JT, I just used my trusty airbrish and some acrilycs. Not forgetting the Anthracite wash.

HB,

What is Anthracite wash.

A pot of Revell Matt Anthracite, a wet brush and a roll of kitchen towel. Water down the paint, paste it liberally all off the item to be weathered, before the paint has a chance to dry wipe off with a piece of kitchen towel.

The paint will remain in the hard to access areas, making it look weathered.

Hi Diorama lovers...

I would have put this on my Photonovel WIP thread, but I didn't want to bump it up over some of the newer posts over there, so here I am.

This is my latest diorama/playset which I created a part of the X-Wing Alliance project I'm working on. It is mainly made of mountboard, so it can fold flat for storage. There is one small section made of foamcore, and that's the insert where the door is on the left.

I hope you like it. I've also go all of the decals for this and a floor plan if anyone is interested in making it.






Here is the Hanger as seen in the X-Wing Game (this image has been photoshopped for insertion into the novel).
