FINISHED SIGMA DIORAMA!! PICS ON PAGE 3!

Postby CustomCreator » Wed Nov 19, 2008 8:40 am

Sick of trying to find good spots in my basement to take shots of my Sigma customs, I figured I'd whip up a quick warehouse corner for taking pics. Should also work with ML customs and others.

Early shots here, got the walls mocked up along with the door(non functioning) and laid down the dreaded wooden floor. Still need to weather/stain the floor. All rough edges will be trimed out(as you can see) the door will also have trim. Stay tuned!

Bear in mind, this is supposed to be an old warehouse floor, so I didn't mind some of the gaps between the wood. Some of what looks like gaps are actually colored ends from the hobby shops color coding for price.

Hey, you've got the same Ikea display case that I have! :P

Cool idea for a backdrop. I should look into doing something like that...

Can't wait to see more progress on this! I've thought about doing something similar but haven't gotten around to it. ;) It's going to look great if the smaller one you show is any indication!

update 11/25

Postby CustomCreator » Tue Nov 25, 2008 8:43 pm

Alright, let's see what we have here

Some little updates here.

Made a bulletin board out of some craft cork and wood(obviously). Wood will be painted and maps and such will be printed out and tacked up.
Image

Don't mind my ape hand...lol Showing where it will be adhered to the wall
Image

Put in a window. I will add a "frosted" piece of plastic to the back so it's not see-through. The top half was broken, so I added a piece of wood. Searching for some TEENY fans to put in, mimicking vent fans. Also started messing with exposed brick. The walls will be fake "stucco" with brick showing. The left side brick is the wrong way, I know.

Enjoy! I have worked on the ceiling, but waiting for supplies to arrive.

Alright folks, don't get too excited, small update here. I have a TON of "hurry up and wait" pieces for this thing, mostly doing the brick/stucco wall.

Today we have all the baseboard trim, door trim, and "tin" ceiling installed. Not sure if I am going to add ceiling trim, but I probably will.

All walls are fully removable if I ever decide to sell this thing, I like my stuff to be able to be broken down for shipping.

Anyway, here are the pics

The trim looks black in the pics, but it's a dark gray

Oh. My. God.

Those first teaser images gave NO indication of how awesome this would end up looking!

Dude, I am so jealous!

I really need to learn how to craft some dios.

Very small update here, but TONS of engineering thought. This will be a "gun case" for some of the weapons in the Sigma world. I have created a frame for the front(still has glue drying) The front frame will have wire mesh simulating a type of chicken wire protective front. As you can see, they will attach via magnets. Of course painted.

Image

I will use either clear acrylic rod, or the dowel you see here to support a few weapons. Nothing big, but just enough detail

That's fantastic!

(Although, anything I can convince you to do to send us that SMG rather than put it in the case? :))

By the by, I hope there's going to be a little keypad or somesuch for breaking out the guns when needed. :)

yeah, I am looking for a 1/6 scale PDA to insert onto the wall....lol

Let me see what I have in my box of weapons. Sadly, I can only make this gun cabinet so big, and a lot of the Sigma guns, as you know, are WAY oversized. I have no problems sending you this one if I can find enough guns to fit the case. :)
