My next round of walls and buildings for my eventual Springfield. Interior is painted but not filled with furnishings yet so I'll show that off at a later date. Folded paper blinds are removable. I may try to "tint" the plastic glass so they are not needed. Both doors function as well as garage door. Stairwell, building, back walls are all seperate pieces. The building breaks down somewhat as well but I'll show that when i show the interior. Anyhow, Renegades Roadpig will walk you through for scale of this dio. Both doors function as well as garage door

Thanks Fogger. It's all foam for the most part. The blacktop this time is that black rolled felt stuff for under roof shingles. It's Rex's method of carving the foam and the insulation foam he recommended, just 1 inch thick. It is actually pretty easy to do. Looks overwhelming but once you dig in its easy but tedious.

post away, would love to see them!! Remember my first dios were not very good in comparison to what i do now. Trial and error and i will always attribute what i am doing now to Mandingo Rex's Foam tuturial. That thing opened dio doors for me i would never have thought of. Thanks again Rex!!!

Nice job, I think I am going to take a stab at something like this to line the walls of my display shelves. Need to build a Cobra command center, Joe command center, and a garage area.

I'd love to have the space to do that. The thing with these sets, is you can ALWAYS add more detail and switch things up, and the project never really is "finished". Which is a good thing, as it can grow and change for various needs.

What's the significance of KLD? Is that a comic reference I'm missing?

The only thing I dislike is that weird diamond-shaped peg over the garage door. It just looks weird as an architectural element. What else do you have planned?

Med - couple of questions.

1. I'm having a bitch of a time cutting the board so that the edges I cut are completely completely flat and butt up against the other one flush. Any tips?

2. What glue are you using? I've tried gorilla glue (takes a long time) and a hot glue gun...I even used a combo of both so the hot glue holds it together so the gorilla glue can set.

thanks. The diamond thing is gonna get a name put on it. Not sure what, I copied that design from my local fire department. They have their number carved in theirs. That wall is reversable so on the other side it is much more plain. Like you said, the designs and uses are endless. I have added an extra set of steps between the others to better get my stairs in scale.

I second that. Been scratching my head for a day trying to figure it out.

1- A really sharp blade is key, also, only cut about a quarter inch deep at a time and be very conscience of the tilt of your blade. My first cuts were crooked as well but over time i got them straight.
2- Hot melt glue is what i am using at the low setting. The key for me is to cut angled slits in what i am glueing. Hard to explain. right where they join, I cut an angled slit on either side so the glue seeps into it slightly creating a lip for it to grab on either side. This way the lip acts like a tongue and groove as glue hardens to hold it tighter and stronger. Hope that makes sense.

The steps are great. Now, you need to make me a set with a landing midway up.

just a turn (90 degrees), or a total reversal (180)like a fire escape stairs? your choice. Also can you text me the exact height of that second floor on that building so i can get them to match up even.
