It's wood. If you didn't prime it first, the wood is just going to suck up the paint.

I'm excited to see how you display your figures!

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

That's why you don't play with them; you collect and display them.

But no seriously, you're never "too old" for anything. There's no specific age where you have to forget everything you ever liked or once liked and find an entirely new set of interests. That's not the definition of "growing up" and maturing. You should never change the things that make you who you are. One shouldn't have to require approval nor apologize for the things that make them, them; provided it doesn't harm nor degrade anyone. You don't need someone else's permission to be interested in what you are interested in. You like what you like, so own it.

That just doesn't apply to collecting collectibles; it applies with any particular interest that you have. I adamantly believe that in order for anyone else to accept and be comfortable with you, you first have to accept and be comfortable with yourself.

Great progress on the display case; I'm looking forward to the release of the HB so I could come up with something similar.

BTW, I'm 54 and will never stop collecting...although my wife questions my purchases all the time. Age is irrelevant when it comes to something you enjoy; hell, I just finished watching the Clone Wars lost episodes last night...not being too old for "cartoons."

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

We, as men especially, are told that as we grow up, it's time to put away childish things. So we start off with our toys, then hit the teenage years where we have to put away those things to be, "cool." In our teens it's all about image. We all worry too much about what others think about us or say about us. So we go from there, being who we think we should be and grow up from there. Then we reach the time in our life, (whatever age it may be) where we just don't care what others think or say. We know who we are now and we're comfortable with that. It's not that we have a second childhood, we just cut our childhoods short in the first place. So now we're adults and we go back and buy our own toys. Only now they cost more, but are much more enjoyable.

Good stuff

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

Set figures in (not posed) so that I could see amount of real estate they will take up. Yeah.....it's a bunch.....

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

I don't know if you've thought about using the glass sides for some aerial poses with the figures. It would increase both the dynamics of the shot as well as floor space. Just a thought. Keep up the great work.

Looks like Hulk is set to smash Loki right through the bottom of your display case.

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

Looking good man. Well done for sure

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

Thanks! Now back to the actual diorama construction. I may have to rethink some things due to space constraints.

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

It's so close!

Re: Build progress on my custom Avengers Diorama

I think some dynamic stands will help u lot's and be able to change up. You could hide them under the concrete street or broken up rock's of warzone. Nice work keep it up! A hi building sniper spot 4 hawkeye would suit him if decide to go that way again great work!
