Ice Dio Playset

[Meddatron]

This dio was made for a dio contest at serpentors Lair. I decided to do it more as a playset than a full blown dio. This way my kids can play with it when they want. Here are the pics, I had fun running a few pics through a posterize filter. thanks for looking.

Thanks all! much appreciated. My youngest son has been playing on it since I finished my pics. He has made it his MK Sub Zero's home.

I use an exacto and an utility knife. I use the exacto for the actual details and the utility for straight cuts. The weight of the utility helps me keep the blade verticle for straight cuts.

I sealed the seams with hot melt glue. I just kept smoothing it with the tip as it dried. I than put multiple coats of a thick interior latex paint to smooth it out some and sprinkled flour on it before it dried. Normal paint job after that. Only took bout 3 hours to make it, but a couple of days to paint it. lol.
