Sorry I've been MIA, but my laptop has been in the shop for almost a week. This means props for the alley are on hold. Bought some do a on Monday, and officially started my Zelda inspiredcastle ruins. This will be a courtyard, and hallway. Fresh cuts

This is looking great. Great detail is already showing. Off to share.

I feel you pain mate, carving foam board is a long and tedious process! It looks great, can't wait to see it finished.

Still needs some clean up work. Everything looks better painted....lol
-
Time for another front page update.
-
Brickwork looks great. I have a feeling this will be really awesome, when you're finished.
-
Yep have to agree with the boys this is coming along great.
Ron

Thanks everyone!
With each build, I try and challenge myself to try new techniques. This build will incorporate at least 4 new things for me. The first being the amount of carving. The second? Foliage. What's a courtyard (even an abandoned one) without plants? Still needs some "fluffing", but there are 2 more coming. 100% scratch built.

Ran out of time to comment, but looking good. Got this on the front page the other day.

Thanks gents! Another quick night at the workbench. Made a half wall (first broken wall). This will be on magnets so you can remove it for photo shoots.

Getting into the nitty gritty interior work. Square stone floor.

Trying my hand at stained glass. Notice the "subtle" Tri-Force?? :)
Needs some cleaning up (back of glass), and a small frame behind to block the light around it (same with door). All still a big WIP.
(http://i526.photobucket.com/albums/cc346/CustomCreator2008/The%20Legend/20638775_1387625898025051_6437883306270052406_n_zps3tut59qf.jpg)

Looks good on the front pages. Nice work.
-
I like that stained glass that's freggin sweet, good lighting too.
-
Thanks everyone. Been MIA from the bench again (summer). Now that fall is starting to settle in, I'll probably get back at this one. Did some structure work tonight (magnets), and installed the lights temporarily to get a feel for them. I think I am going to like them!

Dang dude. I've always been impressed with your detail, but the lighting is perfect as well.

Hey gang. After a separation from my wife, and moving into a new place, dioramas have taken a HUGE back seat to life. However, now that I am finally getting settled, I have turned my attention back to finishing this dio. Here are some updates.

Wow that looks real! Off to share.
And sorry to hear about your life stuff, but a person has to have some peace. Glad you are back to doing some dio work.

Impressive work buddy and I'm loving the little details like the fallen leaves, well done indeed.
Ron

wow
That looks really cool.
There are some many great deatails in your dio.
I really like the lanterns and the colorful glass window.

Hey all, remember me?? ;D

Of course we do remember you! So good to see you’re back!
To me you’re the master of walls and buildings! It’s amazing how much magic you put to styrofoam! Your sceneries always look extremely realistic!
The moss looks just stunning! Did you use real moss for it?
Greetings from Germany!

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind words. There are MANY who are masters, and to be considered among them is truly an honor. To answer your question, I used Woodland Scenics Lichen. I guess it's real??? I've had it for YEARS, and it has never dried out.

Wow, that's really cool. I'll have to show this to my kids... they have been into Zelda on nintendo switch lately.

The moss looks really good. The whole dio really feels authentic.
