For the details, I can already tell you that it is not finished ! There remain a lot.
Thank you very much ! I think it was worth it to change some things.
Soon, soon ! I hope to finish it before its 3 ½ years birthday. I can not wait to start another project !dude you are doing a fantastic job, I can't wait to see what you accomplish when you are all done. But for reals, I can't wait to see more
Thank you very much for your comment !

And now a new little update!
We approach the beginning of the end I do not have much thing to show you (I'll explain it a bit more down) but I have some pictures anyway.
I start the serious stuff (they were before also: P): I am attacking the paint of the decor. Will follow the setting up of it, the integration of characters, details and finishes. A whole program but that should walk well. I hope to do a good update every weekend.
There will probably a video of the painting of the decor and its installation. And maybe if I have time a video about the painting of weapons and furniture.
I also change the following project : I have already said, I know, but then I specify the trick. It has nothing to do with a model of the Infinity or another, this is not a diorama (although there will be others).
At the moment nobody knows the true nature of this project. It will be me "beneficial" to enlarge my collection and can be, if it meet a success, you can enjoy it too.
But we must be patient !
Meanwhile here are the latest pictures
This is the left side of the door : it is built with 2 PVC plate. I have dug inside to install a flat green LED. The black paint is used to obscure the light scattered in white PVC.
An overview once lit !
The explosion of the plasma grenade is ready.
Inside a ceiling with 4 LEDs to illuminate the ceiling light.
The fence ... To do what?
To realize the metal mesh which reinforces the concrete in a structure.
Hop placed !
And now what it looks !
The new plant container (for palm).
After a lot of sanding.

At the top, my old airbrush... Rest his soul, painting was a vocation for him, nothing resisted him during his five years of loyal service. He was at my side in all our battles, he never fails. But that life stopped. Rest in peace my big ...
And down, his successor !
PVC that will be used for the ground outside.
Tracing and engraving !
The location of the impact of plasma.
I'll create the crater with plaster.
A circle with extruded polystyrene.
Is cut out.
And I put a good dose of the plaster.
Finished.
With a primer layer.
Placed and glued !

To the ground outside, I spent a layer of dark gray and then a layer of light gray. Sorry I do not have any photos, small oversight on my part (but I have a video: D)
Knowing that the edges of the pavers are darker than are inside, I must prepare for painting.
Same for the other part.
Talaaaaaa !
But some pavers are darker or lighter then ....
Why I did not have much to show you! Because I was making late by something that I had not paid attention.
To be clear, while I plunged for the 27th time the Halo ODST campaign, I went through a room and there ... revelation!
Indeed I made a mistake and I disabled my "night vision". Above my head was a ceiling light illuminating intermittently.
To this day, I plan to paint the interior floor with 3 shades of brown. But in fact the interior floor of every building is BLUE !
So, I ordered the new paint, so I lost a week ... That's why I'm late
More photos soon.

I go pretty fast, I think the end is near
These are the details that are most important !Absolutely amazing! I love all the little details like the led on the door and the wire mesh for the busted up concrete. I'm looking forward to seeing more on this!
Thank you

just be glad you're not building like three city blocks or more, unless you want to. I think if you did they might make a map based off of it... I mean one guy that played 17,000 matches and got a signed map and 4 year's of xbox live membership. so if you wined up making a second believe event then they might. oh and I found these on the web if you want you can take a crak at them.
just some idea's if you want to build more.

It's the end of the week, which means a small upgrade !
I've been a little busy with other things but I still tried to advance the diorama. Good news to me is that all the furniture are made and received primer ! Some received their first coat of paint and some are a little more advanced.
I'll let you look at the pictures.
The ground and tracing for the electric cables.
The famous blue interior floor, here is the first step.
Still blue !
Here's the result (I'm pretty happy ^ ^)
A preview !
The beginning of the coffee table.
A little more. But you do not see the result.
The bench seat : finished !
The floor of the roof. It is made as pavers.
It remains to darken or lighten some pavers.
What is it?
The new sofa! I let you see thr making process.

I've never really been into dioramas or figures, but this is very impressive, and I'll be keeping an eye out to see where this finishes

Absolutely beautiful attention to detail! Is this the only diorama thread on the 405th? Even if it wasn't, it would surely be the best anyway.

I have played Warhammer for years. I have never seen this much attention to detail put into any set. You sir are on a professional level. Awesome work!

It's Sunday ! And on Sunday, it is the update ! I work a lot of time on the same thing this week, but at least I finished the major part to do it.
We start with a new kit to assemble without notice ! I let you watch
And yes, it is a table.
The primer : remains to paint.
So here's what I worked on : the indoor wall painting. The darkest part (gray almost black) is, in the game, composed of wooden slats of different hues. It remains for me to paint ...
And to paint the famous wooden slats, I must delimit it with tape marking : a lot of small strips of 0.5 mm width.
I found this other topic about diorama.

It took me a little more than 8 hours of work just to the tape marking !
All the paintings will be useful !
And as always: small snack break
I paint each wooden slats one by one, long, long work !
This is the final result after 3 drybrush: 2 brown and 1 black.
Little mess during the painting.
That is what I had to dry brush ! About 750 wooden slats !
And is the result of the 8 hours of work...
Finished !
It was a small update, but only because painting the walls took me a lot of time, it was easier to do than I would have thought
I will return soon !
