WIP update on the Doctor Who diorama

What I have done is add another layer of foam to each wall which has a strip of magnetic tape that connects with a strip of tape on the side of the floor. I have also had to cut the large triangle floor piece in half, to make it easier to find a box to put in for shipping. All I need to do is add a final coat of white paint to the back of the 3 walls and then it’s done.

A client has asked me to recreate a piece he saw on the internet.

He’s asked it be 40x40x40 cm, I’ve made the base using a 10mm & 6mm boards glued together. I’ve carved in the first row of slabs and my next job is to cut a 30 x 40 piece using 20mm foam.

I’ve glued the 30” piece onto the base, and once it’s dry I will be slabbing it. The back wall I’ve added a 20” piece of foam and at the request of my client, I’ve cut in a 10” door frame. I used a side plate to cut out the arch.

That looks really good so far. I really admire the detail you put into weathering the stone surfaces. Look forward to seeing this develop.

Well, the fans in the UK are lucky to have you, RCW! 40³cm sounds like the perfect fit for IKEA's Detolf to me. Nice progress so far.

Thanks guys!

WIP build update.

I’ve been working on the back wall in stages. First I added the brick work, scored and detailed it. I added an arch around the door frame, added a couple of pillars on either side below the pelmet which runs the width of the wall.

My next step is to make the two pillars, which will stand freely on either side of the steps and work out what to do with the door frame, add a door or something….

That looks really good! I like those low pillars a lot, they add great character to the piece. Doors are over-rated  ;) I like the inclusion of an outdoor picture.

I’ve created a couple of pillars to the size of the wall, covered them with corrugated card. I’ve created a door which will sit in front of the portal.

With the pieces made, I’ve base coated the model and will start painting next week.

The columns and door turned out really well. I like the paper and hot glue hinges, they work really well. This is going to be great.

WIP progress on my latest diorama commission. I’ve added a layer of mid grey to the sides of the back wall, door frame and random bricks. The door I have applied an oak brown and a dark gold to the hinges.
