My Custom TMNT Diorama

[jalmetalman]

Started doing this on Tuesday for the NECA turtles and have spent about 5 hours or so on it (I work slowly :lol: )... It's about halfway done. Based on the full colour reprint. It's made out of cardboard but I used some balsa wood for the ledge and window... I'll post some more pics when it's finished (might take a couple more progress pics)...

Edit:
there is a bit of "cleaning up" to do on the cardboard edge, I need to finish the back ledge and make the little air vent/chimney thing for the top and a couple other detail things then it should be ready for painting... Should hopefully get it finished by this weekend.

Anyways here's some pics:

I agree. It looks awesome. What kind of cardboard is that, not like box cardboard is it?

Thanks guys! Yep, it was just a cardboard box that I cut in half etc... there is a bit of "cleaning up" to do on the cardboard edge, I need to finish the back ledge and make the little air vent/chimney thing for the top and a couple other detail things then it should be ready for painting...

That's awesome! Careful the cardboard doesn't get too soggy from the paint though! Will you be using textured paint?
