This afternoon I got one of the windows fitted and framed. I also cut a piece for the door, then using a piece of acrylic sheeting I cut a whole into the door and placed the glass into it. What I will be doing next will be to sculpt the door, adding a little more detail into it and then adding the other window.

The bottom piece of foam board will be the pavement around the building.

Thanks Shawn.

Today I finally fitted the last window into place and put its frame on.  After recently purchasing a mouse sander, I went over the floors making them even. I also sanded the counter, this just needs to be either stained or painted.

Tonight I started working on the surrounding area to the building. Cutting a single piece of foam board I have carved the surrounding area with 1"X1" squares for paving stones. Next job with this is to sand down the top layer before spraying.  I might cut out the flagged area to the right side and replace it with a single piece of board for the alleyway. It was pointed out to me after cutting the squares, that alleyways aren't flagged. Oh well!

Last night I got work on the base for my diorama.  I started by cutting two pieces of black foam board and gluing them together.  Once dried, I used my steam cleaner with the window scrapper attachment  and removed the top layer of card from both sides of the soon to be wall.  Once the foam had been revealed I took my Lego tool and carved bricks into both sides of the wall.

The pavement\sidewalk, I sanded down the top shinny layer of card off to leave the roof imperfections of underneath.  Taking another sheet of board, it was glued to the underneath of the pavement to create a second, stronger layer.

The aim of tonight was to test out magnetic strip for a commission I've been asked to.  Once the pavement had dried and I had finished the sanding, I glued a strip of magnetic tape to the underside of the wall and then another strip to the pavement and ta-da I have a removable freestanding wall to act as an alleyway or remove it for close up action shots like Batman scaling the wall.

In the meantime please enjoy some action shots!

Today, I cracked on with getting the pavement spray painted. While that was drying I got a couple of wooden kabab spikes and painted the aluminium, then gave them a chrome coating.

While they are drying, I sanded the door, gave the window a fresh foam board frame, then applied a coat of white acrylic.

I have coffee stained the table.

I cut a piece of corrugated card and painted it silver, this is to be used as a security barrier for the front door.

 Once the pavement had dried, I have applied a grey wash and then a black dry wash. Then using the grey and a thin brush, I have gone over every pavement slab.

When the spikes have dried, I will tie them on to mesh and make a fence for the back of the alley.

Almost there!

This morning I woke up and fixed my mesh fencing to the top of the wall and at the end of the alleyway.

Not too shabby!

Thanks Shawn, what started as a simple front and top has just exploded into an all rounder dio. My daughter is eager to play with this!
