Re: CTO's Attempt at repaint/customs :)

So I went to Home Depot and picked up some clear silicon (caulking used for bathroom, kitchen etc)

I think I got the texture of the water







With a figure to give you a sense of scale. Sorry, I don't have DX 2 to give it a better look

Re: CTO's Attempt at repaint/customs :)

So, another project to keep me busy during the summer before school starts anic:

Since I have a DX 02 coming in (if Canada Post would hurry up already :gah, and the Bruce sculpt from the Toy Fairs ex Batman, I figured I would put together a HK scene Batman. Well of course, I'm going to need a diorama for Batman to be standing on.


If you have been following my other project (Bane sewers) you'll know that I'm a student and funds are the primary constraint on my projects. So my goal is to keep this project under $50, while maintaining some accuracy to the source material

Here is some reference material that I'm sure we are all familiar with





Things that I will be including in this diorama:
-LED lights with a switch
-the ability to power the lights to a usb/wall outlet
-real glass for the windows underneath Batman
-I'll include the backdrop as well

My awful sketch of the section I'll be making


Materials I'll be using:
-Foam board - because I am cheap lol
-I have some switches coming in from eBay

-styrene (the most costly material in my project)

Here's what I have so far




I will widening the landing on which Batman is standing on, it's too thin in this picture



I do feel the box I made is way to long in depth, so it might be something that I'll be adjusting

and of course, and comments or critiques are welcomed. I can only get become better from here.

Re: CTO's Attempt at repaint/customs :)

Hey guys,

finally got some work done on the dio.

I was able to go on a styrene run today, so I was able to finish up some parts today.

Styrene added to edge of the dio for a smooth ledge



Work on the lights




Lets make 2 more



Don't mind the dirty dishes in the background


Tried out the lighting with some of my figures

hey, thanks man!

Styrene sheets were bought from a local hobby store here (that has models and train kits)

Its the TDK HK dio because in the scene where Batman jump off the building, that building and scene were in HK. I'm from Winnipeg
