Breakout Battle Diorama

[Thurmus]

First I started with the barn. I couldn't find normal sized icy pole sticks so I had to buy tongue depressors and cut them in half. A lot harder than it sounds. I then painted them with wood stain.

Then I built a base board and painted it. I then stuck the barn on to the board.

Then I started putting the background walls on.

When I got to this point I wasn't happy with how flat the base looked. After looking around I found some clay would do the trick.

After buying 5 different types of grass (the field grass is the one you put me on to M-Bot), I finally found a couple I was happy with.

To do the driveway I sifted and crushed dirt from the backyard and mixed it with PVA glue. I used the left overs from the sifting for the middle of the driveway that doesn't have wheel wear.

[UltraMarginal]

That is SPECTACULAR!.

I can't wait to see more, what are your plans for the roof? do you have any plans for the inside of the barn?

[Thurmus]

I am trying to get a good rusted look for the roof. It will look like corrugated iron.

I have doors for the barn and a log for the Decepticon to use for cover.

[Deonasis]

Holy cow! Great job :cool:

[philby]

[M-bot]
