Default I Need A Volunteer To Build A Pitt

I need someone that can build large cardstock model very well and has the time to build a good set using a wall set that I'll be finishing up very soon. I will ask that you take pictures and make tutorial on constructing the various walls. I would but as y'all know I lack a good camera and cannot afford new one. i will offer any advice and help i can give and i will need feeback if some parts don't match up well.

That wall set is based on the Pit from the SDCC 09 – G.I. Joe Booth Diorama

you should be able to build something fairly close. Unfortunately a foundation will not come with the set and you may have to get foam broad or what you are comfortable using a floor and a roof between sections.

Here is an example. The interior texture may change.

I checked the first template against a Steel Brigade figure and those walls aren't overly tall. Plus, they aren't long enough for my tastes. I'd rather just use foamboard for the walls and either paint them or leave them hospital white to give the apperance of a hi-tech place.

Have fun to whoever is gonna do this one.

well the wall should be close to 6 inch tall and resemble the height shown here what program did you use to print it out? I use Irfanview, but as long as you can print out to a page size I should work. The finished walls will be in PDF fomat.

I didn't print out. I judged it by what was on the computer when viewing it. While it seems cool, it's just not something I used. I'd rather do things on my own. I'll reference stuff but NOT copy it exactly.

I bought some foamboard today. Will decide what design to do with it. Want to use these walls though.

I'm very close to being finished basically what's slowing me down is that I'm deciding on some more interior textures to use. I should have PDF ready by monday at the latest.

Personally, what I really want to do are key interrior rooms. Such as a commanding officer's office, so the Joes can have a briefing and get assignments; computer/comm room, like what is seen in that Hasbro booth, in much the same style; hallways/corridors; and some common room where lots of Joes hang out--to discuss the next mission, for example.
