New door added last night.

I cut into the foam back wall.


Here's a test fitting.



Here's the installed and weathered new door!

Doors; day two of three. An older door and frame, but in a new position with a repurposed stairway.

This set of updates is fantastic! I really like how you are building this display and the attention to detail (read David Bowie!) is absolutely stellar.

Thanks guys!
Doors; day three of three. A new door and frame, in a new position using the other half of that repurposed stairway.

Looks great for Day 3. I can't see the day 2 images for some reason.

Sorry, I may have done the linked images wrong. Should work now.

I really like the stairwells:) The doors look great. Question for you: How do you treat your foam prior to painting?

Mod Podge mixed with some acrylic paint will harden and seal foam dios. I'm not sure it was this video, but I definitely learned that trick from Black Magic Craft.
I share this video all the time. The scale is off, but the skills are all the same. This is where you get started making dios.
