WIP PART 5 - NEW CUSTOM SCI FI BASE DIORAMA FOR GIJOE CLASSIFIED / VALAVERSE 6 INCH SCALE FIGURES!

More progress on the Sci Fi Base Diorama! After building the support tower, which is roughly 13 inches tall, I've decided to build an upper level, and it will be designed like a garage for vehicles. Two rectangular stacked art boards were used to create the roof, before I started adding more constructed props.

Plus I've added some circular cabinet puck-lights in the base level, to light it up. And on the upper level, I've added two of my newest custom vehicles, Tech-Razor ATVs, to replace the GI Joe Cobra Ferret. And two custom-painted Cobra Coil bikes were also added to the garage.

The rear wall on the upper garage level was made from cardboard, while the metallic fences were made from gutter rails. And I made the rest of the props that you see, placed around the perimeter. A few 6-inch figures were placed upstairs and downstairs, to give a sense of scale and size for the diorama. 

Maybe I'll add more furnishings downstairs, along with a ladder to climb upstairs. We'll see...

Thanks for looking! Enjoy and Share!

WIP PART 4 - NEW CUSTOM SCI FI BASE DIORAMA FOR GIJOE CLASSIFIED / VALAVERSE 6 INCH SCALE FIGURES!

More progress on the props for the Sci Fi base diorama! I've added a support tower, which is about 13 inches tall, like the walls of the base. It has four different technical designs on each of its four sides, and it's intended to be a cornerstone support for creating higher levels; like placing a rectangular cardboard slab on top of the existing base, to build the second floor. So will I build a higher floor in the future? I dunno. You'll have to wait and see.

The support tower was made from cardboard, black putty, and wood sticks, and it was reinforced on the interior, so it's very sturdy. The two barrels were made from small pipe fixtures, and the shipping pallets were made from wooden craft sticks. There is a new large oval table as well, which is shown in the pics, while the former hi-tech blueish holographic table is set in the background. The two small storage bags [duffle bags] were bought from ebay, which are shown in the latter pics - one is black, while the other is white. 

The GI Joe logo on the rear wall is held by a magnet. So it can be switched out, if you want to convert this into a hi-tech Cobra base. And two 6-inch scale Valaverse action figures were added, to give a sense of the size.

Thanks for looking, enjoy and share!
