That is MDF you are using right?

Also do you use a scroll saw?

Looks great so far.

 

[Kamandi]

Are you going to scribe the lines into the wall with a dremel or will you glue styrene panels?

 

[Solo_bones]

Wow, that's impressive. Would love to see more step by step photos.

What are you using to hide the seam lines or is that to glue the separate pieces?

 

[flying dutchman]

update.....added some detailing. I'm using MDF and a jigsaw to make the curves. De "panel-detailing" will be made with plastic sheets.

 

[flying dutchman]

It looks like MDF. Am I right?

Do you use a scrollsaw Dutch? If so what kind? Do you just draw the lines onto the board with pencil and follow with the saw?

Yep....that's the general idea...

If you make a mistake using a dremel it's a disater because you can't undo it so I'll use the styrene panels.....

Actually this is the first diorama that is mostly screwed to the outside box. I used woodfiller to fill-up the seams......

How could I have over-looked this thread.:lol

Great work!:clap

wip update. I sanded the rough corners and uneven spots. Because primer doesn't attach to plastic, I painted first and then began "panneling".....:huh. So now I hope the paint on the panels wil match the seems. I also redid the computerpanel because I really wasn't happy with the first try. I think it looks ok now and it was time to move along...
There's going to be a comic/movie convention in Antwerp soon. So I guess Bossk is coming soon..:yess:

Nice! You can really see the depth perception now.

I love the step by steps. Keep it coming, looking great!!

 

[kaiburr]

These are great builds! Really inspiring. In fact, I'm tearing out some shelves today to make room for another Tantive room in your honour!
Keep up the brilliant work.

Best,
Nathan

Is that a jacuzi?

 

[Pixelpiper]

almost there....

I'm loving all these compressed "in a box" dioramas, you've done a great job at capturing the essence of the scene in a spall space.

 

[flying dutchman]

Well....another step to completion....
