Some of you might remember this gem. Well it's now going to be turned into a section of Arkham

Little more window progress. Not really sure what I am doing with this as I am having a hell of a time trying to accomplish what I want


Test fitting the sidewalk and door. Yes, the door is supposed to be raised a bit.


This is just the first coat. Have to redo some of the grout lines, and add weathering, etc.

Little bit of weathering here. I took down the awning above the door as I wasn't feeling it. Probably just put a light or something.

Now, I am no graffiti artist, so don't laugh too much...lol. There will be posters on the wall and a sign above the garage door.









decided to board up the "window" with some imitation plywood...lol. In the middle, a rusty pipe will be sticking out.







Now for a little tutorial. I have used this stuff before with great results, but I recently learned a new trick with it to keep the rust going. Basically this is a kit you can get at any craft store.




First I took a Dremel to the end of some plastruct plastic. Then you "paint" on actual bits of ground up iron in a solution onto whatever you want to rust.



You wait for it to dry, and then apply the rusting solution with a brush. Well instead, a guy on a model car forum decided to try this:

You put the solution in a spray bottle


Place the object in a ziploc


Spray the solution in


And hang it up to do it's thing


I will leave this for a couple days to get a maximum effect

 here she is so far:









the finished product of the "rusting" of the plastic pipe:


Shining light onto Gotham with this update.

Got the garage signage done  ;)



I try and live by the motto: "The devil's in the details"

Closed sign


Rusty nails



Now, let's light up the night!













The bulb is orange. There will be another one behind the door to show some light there, unless someone wants to donate one of those Spiderman street lamps to the project? You know, the one that he could retract up on??  :D

Brother, I love this game, and love this diorama even more!  Such HUGE attention to detail, I can't even begin to comment on it.  There's too much to isolate!  Absolutely gorgeous!

Mind-bogglingly spectacular. 
I have altered the action figure. Pray I don't alter it further.
