My Custom Avengers Diorama - entire build process :)

[Craig Walker]

Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

Update from where I was as of last Friday night [reporting in from WY ]

In place where they would kinda go, so you can see what I'm shooting for as an extension of the background poster:

Looks a little strange, but once bricks are scattered on the ground with wall sections etc, it should work.

Hide a piece of Kryptonite or something in the rubble as a joke. Or a little piece of scrap metal that says J.Hoffa since it's New York.

I think it looks great! Jealous of both your skills and your setup man. How'd you learn how to do all this? Just pick up and go or got some background?

If I haven't already said it, your work is very inspirational, keep it going!

Thanks SO much

I guess I've always been the artistic type: Drew pretty well from early age, played guitar for 35+ years now, and love photography [at least everyone says I'm good at it].

And I've always said I think I could do brain surgery by studying Google and Youtube

I believe we are all given certain gifts, and are made the way we are for a purpose. Ex: My wife hears music much better than I do. She can do any and all harmony parts in a song and do them effortlessly. Yet she is somewhat baffled I struggle with working out the same. But I can draw something that looks pretty good. Let her draw something and it's comedy time
You are probably good at doing something I would marvel at. My brother doesn't do any "artsy" stuff per say, but he has a chemistry degree and teaches well. My eyes glaze over at the stuff that comes easy for him.

That may not be as "interesting" to the world, but it is vital. We each contribute to what makes the world a special place.

Ok, end of whatever that discourse just was....

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

Looking good Craig.

Coming along very nicely.

I really like the explosion effect. Not sure how I could work it into any of my existing dios, but will keep it in mind for future ones.

Would be great to have little homages to other Marvel characters hidden in the display, maybe a tiny Ant-Man, a Daily Planet scrumpled up on the floor, etc...

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

That's spectacular. Can't wait to see the final product.

Keep up the good work.

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

This is why I love this forum and this hobby....a place free of judgement when it comes to or obsession for these toys, not a lot of people I can relate to outside of here, I'm 33 btw a bit younger but I'm still by most standards "too old to be playing with toys"

:\

THe people who set those standards are usually pretty boring to me lol

Again, thanks everyone.

I'll chew on that. There are a few things in this spirit, but I'll have to think some more.

(You're making me give away secrets )
