I had built various Lab things in the past. Using Rex's Tutorials, I built walls and floors to bring it all together.

Thankyou guys. Much appreciated

All that is is one of those venetian blinds mounting hardware squares. I just glued printed logos for all the sides of it and cut some paper and thin cardboard into rectangles to put into it to look like files in folders. simple but effective.

now thats ^^^^^ creative...you need to add that idea to the dio idea/suggestion thread

anyway, sweet freaking dio Medd!...i love the little details like the anatomy posters, bucket of slime and such...my fave thing though has got to be the dynomite bundles, lol...WTH are they doing with those?!

the ceiling tiles (if i remember correctly) came out great using the MRs tutorial...the best thing is that they are pre-textured...

Thanks GI Eddie and Melvin. With the dynomite. I wanted some sort of fallout plan in case the zombies got out. Some type of bomb. I couldn't come up with an idea to make that obvious other than the TNT sticks. If i come up with another method I will replace them.

That's so fucking cool.

About sums it up right there. You really nailed the feel of a lab with the whole thing. From the walls down to the tables. If you had that Vader table that would have been the icing on the cake. You do some really nice dioramas Meddatron! The amount of work you put into the little details is great!

Man, looks like I missed seeing some stuff by not being on here much lately! This is awesome, love the tiny details as usual. I love seeing how mundane little day-to-day things can work so well in a dio.

ok, the diorama is freaking awesome, but I think I have an idea. The door with the Cobra emblem doesn't strike me as something that is actually functional. I think it would only add to the diorama if you could somehow create a functional door, that way you can take shots of the doctors assistants wheeling in and out bodies on stretchers as well as various supplies, but that's just my thought.

Thankyou so much rex, means alot from the dio King. Yup I agree lancelot. That is why this dio is modular, Nothing is fixed. the doorway is open. I just set a printed door as a backdrop for it. I wanted to be able to turn that door wall sideways and split the room in half if needed. The walls are actually 6 independant pieces just propped up, The floor is one solid piece. This way i can recreate new sets as I see fit. All the dio items are removable, even the posters are attached with small twist tie wire with paper removed. the plastic shield on the right with female Zombie is held in place with dollhouse wax glue so it too can be removed. This was only possible after I saw Rex's tutorial. That style and idea has given me infinite ideas.

everyone about covered it. Good size dio piece. I'm a fan of the file box too. Nice detail.

Would love to know what the operating apparatus is made of?

Thanks, Its kinda made out of odds and ends. The frame to the device he is in and above him was a cover to a DVD spindle (100 pack). I cut it to size and boxed in the back. I than put straws at the verticle edges that were showing. The device hanging in it is just random plumbing items with attached speaker wire and a thin nail for the point. The table was made using the left over material from redoing my shower stall and random junk drawer stuff for its base. The cushion on it is the foam that is in the box from necklaces glued down. The little generator type thing on top is part of the inside plastic piece that held my cell phone in its place in the store box. The last part is the verticle thing inside it behind the lab bed. Its the end piece to a washing machine drain hose. Lots of junk. lol.

I missed this too. Awesome dio, Med! It's easy to see all the hard work put into it and it really paid off. Excellent!
