Starting work on an ambitious Diorama project. I plan on using my parents basement for this badboy. Below is a blueprint for this thing, no inch scales yet but it'll give you an idea for the grand scale of this thing.



Its basically a square block from New York. Has an alley, hopefully a ghostbusters firehouse(Not ripping off omega, I came up with the idea without even seeing his photos. pure coincidence for wanting it, lol)
Baxter building is going to be used, with preferably Galactus ontop of it, a homage to him building the world devouring machine in the original lee/kirby epic. I got sentinel placement labeled, and a big hulk crater. its an ambitious project, and currently I'm researching building materials. I'm thinking of ditching my original idea for styrofoam buildings and going for milk crates with covering, lol.
if I manage to get ahold of an old gijoe defiant or crusader shuttle, I can have a quinjet crash

haha, its all good man. I cant wait to see the progress on this. Just picturing how you have it laid out is sick.

[Nexodusrex]

It'll prolly take a long time, cause i'm actually looking at other playsets also to include. Like the toybiz Kingpin Crime Empire playset. It was the top of his building from the spidey 90s animated series, and it opened up to be this semi big playset, and I was thinking "Wow, that would be neat to add. kinda weird that its on the same block as the baxter building"

thats a great Ideal nexodusrex . looking forward to it .
on a different note I have a Marvel Showdown Magneto and i was checking online and I swap out the head like ( omega145 ) said and it came out great I forgot i had this guy .here is a quick picture of it

I really hope that SDCC 12 will use a new mold like Marvel Showdown. bmorr

Some of the Marvel Legends had the Sentinel bases. I think he got that from the lot of 3 that was recently on eBay. You can find just the bases from them on eBay

Actually, I beat all you guys, lol. Just sayin. Here are some of my pics from older threads:











@Nexodusrex: This sounds like a most excellent idea. I cannot wait to see how it turns out. I love seeing people's dios. If you're thinking about which playsets you can use I would highly recommend the following:

Ghostbusters Firehouse
Police Academy Precinct
Spawn Alley
Spider-Man Alley
Ninja Turtles Sewer
Tech Deck Playsets (surprisingly awesome accents for any urban setting)

TRU has the new captain america jet for $25, I picked it up myself a few weeks ago and it's bad ass man! and will look even color when I repaint it. I like you idea for a giant diorama, they look sick when done right.. this is just a suggestion, but I've seen some cool coffeetables that have a huge display case build into them and they look bad ass as you can get the god like view of looking down on them. definatley A large wooden base to build off is necesary, u can by texture spray paint to give sone, rock and pavement looks, hobby shops sell small trees,plants, shrubs etc, also small barrels crates from figure factory figures could be used, 1:18th scale vehicles,... but if you want to be amazing try and top this

Fuckin' awesome!

I actually have the Spawn Alley playset on it's way to me as we speak (eBay). I think I've stumbled upon some of your pictures elsewhere and loved it... obviously.

[ludovicotek]

^ Thanks. That Spawn Alley playset is so perfect for MU figures it's ridiculous. I can't believe it was originally made for 6" figures.

[Tiberius]

Dear lord...thats going to look sweet when its done!

these vehicles would look badass in your display, especially if u took a drill and put bullet holes in the windshield and door panels lol.

[Do Boy]

That cop car is awesome, but damn 180 bucks!!

[Tiberius]

If I had thousands upon thousands of dollars to spend on action figures and related things, I will make a display worthy of the gods!

Yeh it's sick but pricey, but there's other cars identical for a 1/3 the price at buy it now auctions. and they're not identical they're the same car,

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/JADA-TOYS-DUB...item439e867aad, but the shipping is rediculous

[ludovicotek]

behindthemask, a lot of those playset options you've posted are cool, but are much too small. The Marx stuff is for sure waaaaayyyyyyyyy too small for MU, so is the Spider-Man Sky Rider playset. I'd say the only real viable options for what Nexodusrex is after are the X-Men Danger Room and Lady Liberty playsets, but neither of those are really city/urban.

[behindthemask]

I was just merely giving options as playsets, it's up to him to buy w.e suits his diorama, frankly the vehicles and lamp posts were the main things I wanted him to see. But if I had the money I'd just buy a 3d carving machine someone on here posted what their neighbour did with his and looked amazing.

Don't we all, but with a sticker price of between $3-10,000 depending on size and software is out of most of our price ranges. Especially when I'd put the $$ towards a car instead lol. seriously thought check the video on this page, they spent almost $5million dollars! making an epic airport display!

I remember reading an article in 2005 saying those sorts of machines would be affordable consumer products by 2013. Think about what you could do! That could concieavably hurt the toy industry in the long run though. Oh well.
