Lightbulb Ideal Diorama stories that never took off.

Anyone had their moments to make a diosotry, but put it off because of: lack of funds, time, needed figures, limitations on set designs, lack of skills?

Just wondering.

What's your take guys?

How about "yeah, I'll get around to it one day!"

Yeah, i think we all have.Actually im in the middle of that one right now. Need other figures and funds to make sets. I get jealous of all the guys with the pics of their Joe rooms with about 20 of every figure.

Pretty much every dio-story I do starts off a lot more ambitiously than it ends up being...lack of finances, lack of time, etc... all bring it back down a few levels.

Sometimes it's fun to dream, though.

I'm a man of ideas. Doesn't mean they are GREAT ideas or good ideas or maybe the execution blows. I was working on this big gnarly dio "A Matter of Anti-Matter" and then Luke came out with his and it made me look at dios totally different. That dio fell apart right quick too. Not to mention DOOM showed up and well, my latest 3.75" is the result. Mind you, it took nearly 15 pathetic, lame, unstylistic dios to get there.

For almost a year, I couldn't finish a story. I left them open-ended. I was trying to do short dios (like "Scrap Iron Strikes Back" and "I am Ju-On") but those are just practice. I'm starting the ideas for the next 3.75" and hopefully it will work out.

But yeah, it's like Justin said. Funds play a huge role. My own building skills often limit what I really want to do.

My problem is time, funds don't really play a big part in my dio stories. I'm working on a dio story now that for almost two years now isn't finished. The problem is just time. Then lack of motivation.
