I grabbed my favorite material for creating a mock up and off I went.
Matt Board, Ruler, Mechanical Pencil, some Titebond Glue sitting where I won't spill it. |
The Sketchbook I have been carrying around |
Deep into construction at this point |
Coming together |
"The Interior", I think I'm going to work in two windows instead of one. |
The interior with a floor now! |
On the outside the stairs in the alley |
Street side which mostly features the sidewalk and a bit of the street |
I think this will be the main viewing angle |
So how the miniatures in the alley might fit. Some conversion work is going to be required |
Two in the alley and one inside |
Another view with all the minis in the scene |
Wow! That's not what I'd call a small dio. Are you putting it in the Reaper Summer Sci-fi challenge?
ReplyDeleteIt really is pretty small only about 3" on a side. I didn't realize there was a Reaper Summer Sci-Fi challenge. I'll have to go through the forums better and take a look for that.
DeleteNice start. Interesting to see your choice to use 'Mat Board', I have used this once or twice but find it very tough to cut... looking foward to seeing how this turns out.
ReplyDeleteA good sharp knife cuts right through it. This is the same stuff they use to frame pictures, are we talking about the same thing? Its really just thicker cardboard.
DeleteI think I might have got a sheet that was too thick - yours looks about 2-3mm, mine was more like 5-6mm - it took repeated scores with a stanley knife to get through it...
DeleteThe thickness does very. Hobby Lobby sells off their scrap pieces from framing. The thickness might be as thick as 3mm but I would guess that most of it is about 2mm. I have never seen stock as thick as 5mm. Hit the local framing shops and see if you can pick up their scraps.
