Nice, those walls look well "weathered." The texturing is really masterful. Sorry to hear things have been rough, here's hoping that 2024 is better.

Thanks mate, I was made redundant back in September where I have spent the past few months trying to find a new job but the market has been awful, and intern this zapped all of my creative inspiration.

Build update.

I’ve started working on the opposite wall of my latest diorama, this wall is 23” x 10” the wall is the same size as the other one. This wall I’ve cut a dock door, a door and two windows. I’ve scored in the brickwork and then rolled a ball of of tin foil over the bricks. I cut another piece of foam and used that as a backboard for the first wall.

My next steps is to start work on the rear wall before working on the floor.

Oh wow...that's awful. I can totally understand the grief of losing a job and the stress of finding new work being simply exhausting. Have you found work? If not, will pray for you

Like the windows in this one. Your dioramas always have such realistic textures, it's amazing.

Build update.

Today I made two fronts for the buildings, scoring the foam the same way I made the two walls and then finished off by adding corner stones to each building.

My next step is add another layer of foam to top of each building which will give me the option to add another story to each building. Then I’m going to work on the base, which will then help me work out how wide the back will be. The alley width will be big enough for the Batmobile 😂.

Too bad you don't have some of those floor tiles. They would work!  :)

The piece of foam you see is a only a placeholder for a minute while I was working out the dimensions.

I’ve been working on the pavements and the wall at the rear of this pieces. I scored the curb, flag stones, brickwork and cracks in the stone.

My next step is to add another layer of foam behind the wall and on top. Then work  on the road.
