Dio Set Help!
It's my turn this time!
I want to do a big courtyard scene. I need it to be big enough to house more than 40 figures. (well 40+ NeoVipers plus the characters actually doing the speaking.) I was thinking it'd be an outdoor courtyard with 'concrete' walls, much akin to the troops standing at attention like in Marvel #1.

Diorama Idea #57
I read your post, then I grabbed a piece of paper and my ball-point bic pen... and voila! This is my present to you. Use it, or print it out and blow your nose on it, either way it was 3 minutes of fun for me!
I call it "Neoviper's Last Orders Parade"... But then again, that's up to you ;-)
You are great at walls and such, so I thought of the various features with your strengths in mind...
If you did something like this - I would name you king cobra. I always start out with a crude drawing like this, naming the various features that I am about to create... and when I draw it out, I absolutely don't think about "how" I'm gonna do it... I just draw it and then do it. That's part of the fun!
Jive any ideas?
Cheers! ~ Paul.

Sonn, forget it, I'll take this, haha!!
Fifth, that's an awesome set-up. I like the windows w/bars...I could see those being cells, where captured Joes have no choice but see and hear CC rally the troops...it'd be so demoralizing! Perfect!
G, you best make something like this! I can picture your kick-ass Neo-Viper army, in parade formation, being called to action, to battle!
Very cool!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking - have the joes looking out at the neo strike-force thru the bars. Space the bars just far enough apart to squeeze an arm through, and have a figure trying to escape.
I totally agree... Sonneilon could make this easy - and show us up in the how-to forum. I'd love to see how he would tackle the stone and the slope-walls.

I aim to please - and I'm a fan of your work. If you could show us how to customize vehicles I would be eternally greatful... and maybe buy you a case of Molson Canadian and ship it to you so you can drink real beer ;-)
Cheers! ~ Paul.

The great thing is that it looks totally doable and not even that difficult (says me, not currently making it, ha!). But I'm picturing in my mind how I'd go about doing it and would love to tackle this one. What an awesome and intimidating set it would make. Perfect for a dio, or for displaying bad-ass Cobra armies.

Stone walls are easy, use cardboard covered in DAS modeling clay. I used it as the base for my homemade stargate (which I still have to finish!)

It looks to me like it would make a fantastic Cobra Arena of Sport as seen in numerous episodes of the cartoon!

Awesome, I can't wait to see it! I tried my hardest to think of a way to work an Arena of Sport into my Joe/TF crossover, but the story didn't require anyone to be captured, so I was never able to do it...
