I agree with TroopsofDoom on this as well.
My Joeverse is somewhat in the same situation as yours--complicated story and sets, lack of space to build, lack of space to store, non-availability of key characters (i.e. custom figures that I have yet to build).
I've taken to writing the story with full dialog and description of the sets. Now I'm re-writing the whole thing to streamline it. I've taken a few pics and have storyboarded segments of it. It's most tempting to make a thread here and just document the story, like a script to a film, just in words without photos, until I am able to fully build all the sets.
In terms of character biographies, it is something I am thinking of doing as well. There are many custom figures that will make their appearance, and some new concepts, all of which the reader will not know too much about. So I am looking at the dio-story in terms of a play, with each chapter having a list of characters. To keep this simple, I am certainly not going to re-create the wheel and alter well known characters with new or deeper backgrounds. Just the customs that exist uniquely in my Joeverse will need explaining.
Hope this helps!
