Nice shots Blowtorch. Wonderful photoshop on those. It really makes the scenes happen.
Only thing I can see your dio missing Medd is some blood. Gotta' have some blood when someone is getting beat up.

I definately want to do blood, but i need to figure out how to. Either I need to learn photoshop or figure a way to do it without making it permament on a dio. Not sure how I would do that.
Here's an old one I did, project Copperhead.

Get some of the halloween blood. Stuff washes right out with no problem. I get as much of it as possible and you can usually get it dirt cheap after the holiday. It runs just like it normally would and you can make it look natural.
Thankyou sir!!! My local Halloween shop should be open soon. I can't wait now!
And if you use it in sand or snow it will clot up and is easy to clean up. It's perfect really. Sometimes you will have to soak a figure in hot water for a few minutes but it comes off very easy. I've even left the blood on figures and vehicles for days and it still came off no problem.
Blood you're a sick bastard......BTW so am I. YOU NEED BLOOD !!! LOTS AND LOTS OF BLOOD. Oh and guts and brain matter a few severed limbs wouldn't hurt either.
that worked out quite well Lance...made one wall and mixed with real walls to create quite a cool scene...great shots and focus
I don't always make Dioramas, but when I do, I use GI Joes.
special thanks to Mandingo Rex for the foam wall tutorial.
Nice shots!
My fav is the last one with LL
Lancelot, those walls look good man. They're a tad flat, but if you put a watered-down brown wash on them around the base, and maybe brush on a little black too in the damaged areas, it'll help pull out the detail in the cracks more, and give it more realism too. Great job on the carving though, but the paint will help bring even more detail out of it.
very cool Med!
I like the first one the best. Only thing I don't like is the back pack hole but nothing you can really do about that
cool, thanks for the tips, I was planning on taking some green to the bottom right corner to make it look a little mosey, would that be worth the effort? Also, how do you get sch clean cuts on the Styrofoam? painting the jagged door and window frames is a pain.
Make sure you use a new sharp blade to cut the foam. Even a little dullness will be enough to "catch" on the foam and rip it.
I used a boxcutter. Just get one of the big bastards from Home Depot, with extra blades. They last way longer than X-Actos, and are better for cutting foam.
I only use X-Actos for custom figures anymore, box-cutters are the way to go on Styrene or foam, if you ask me.

It is cool, but that's a Snake Eyes.
Just had a second look. I done fucked up.
great pic...though Shippy looks a bit out of place...i think ginger Ripcord woulda been good there
