    Default New Foam Base Project

    So, I've been using Pepakura to make a foam Iron Man Mark 42 suit this year for my school Extended Project. I've been thinking about creating a 3D model in SketchUp of some sort of base/diorama for my TFs out of the same foam. So far, I've been going between making an Ark/Mount St Hilary Autobot HQ, the iconic base from the cartoon and just the ark as a ship itself that would have more space and some hull details.

    I'm thinking about making only one at the moment, but I could possibly make another in the future.

    The whole list of options I have thrown up are:
    -G1 or FOC Ark (ship)
    -Mount St Hilary Ark HQ
    -G1 or FOC/Prime Nemesis
    -Decepticon HQ (underwater with tower)
    -Lost Light (ship)
    -Autobot City (with a space at the front for Gens Metroplex)

    Keep in mind that these are for classics figures and possibly Masterpiece toys in the future, so which do you think I should go for?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    G1 ark. Just so iconic with those engines poking out of a mountain and the orange/gold labelled interior. And don't forget a cavern to seal the dinobots into.
    Any figure that comes with swords demands wrist articulation.

    A dinobot cave would be sweet. I'd still have to work on a lot of designs for all the rooms/floors.

    I reckon go for the G1 Ark. Iconic, as CBratron said. If you did the volcano as well, even just a part of it, it'd be very very big! How much space do you have for it?

    I'd say Autobot City. You should add a poll to this.
