Default Rocking it Gently

Ok, so I decided to work on the base of the diorama and give it some shape.

Firstly, we wanted to have a 1.5" tall hill that the Pillbox would sit on, as a lookout over the shores of Cobra Island.

Secondarily, we will have a gravel/dirt mix of ground texture going on here. The hill will look like a man-made manufactured and be gravel. The other cardboard strips on the floor are to raise up the gravel walkways that will exist on the "Cobra" side of the chain-link fence. There will be dirt pretty much everywhere else.

And we also added a small indentation for a path down off the hill onto the lower ground below (see pic below).


Here's some pics for your medulla oblongata's enjoyment:




You'll notice that we painted the pillbox flat gray and we think it looks much better. My son actually was the one who did the spray-painting ;-) We'll be dry-brushing it later on to get the "real" look.


Comments Welcome!

Cheers! ~ Paul.
