 lol



I think this is a great idea! You mentioned in progress shots...? I picked up some great stuff for a gate I made for a diorama from ebay after seeing Svennn use it for one of his VSF contraptions:

Basically it was the top one glued to two of the bottom ones. I can't show you a pic until the book I did it for is published but hopefully that helps! (If you haven't done the gate yet).

Here are some pix of the start of the asylum...

Front View...still very basic.


Interior front...may detail with tile floor...


All 5 pieces...the cells line the right and left walls.


Fitted together with the 'explodo' middle piece removed...this will (eventually...) lead to the under-board...catacombs, secret experiment labs and whathaveyou.


Thumbs up! more to come...

Looks great so far! Didn't realize it was going to be a ruined asylum.

What're the walls made of?

Very inspiring job!!   ;D

Have you played Call of Cthulhu: Dark corners of the Earth? There is and scene with a very "nice" corridor plenty of blood oozed from the walls and under the cell doors...

Regards,

Andrés.

Thanx guys. The walls are made of 'Woodland Scenics' terrain board foam...or something like that. It comes in a bunch of sizes...I think the ones I used are 1/8 and 1/2". Once glued I seal them a few times in a mixture of white glue, future floor wax and paint.

Also, thanx Grimm...I didn't get a single one in jail, or in an asylum for that matter... ;)

Looking good - and I know what would be perfect for the hole in the middle... giant tentacles!

 A chthonian coming up with the floor would work very nicely  :-*
