My Custom TMNT Diorama

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... Should hopefully get it finished by this weekend.

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