Okay guys, this is something i wanted to do since forever: Avengers Headquarters. I wanted to build a diorama that would be sizable and durable(not built out of cardboard). So, the other day i found this out in my storage( I have MU Galactus there for size reference). Its a tad over 4 feet high, it being an old crate.

i came up with a small program requirement based on what i usually see in comics:

-quinjet hanger
-hank pyms lab
-iron man armory
-training room
-meeting room/ sit-ops

the idea is that its built on multiple levels with a simple elevator, with an opening at the top for an opening hanger bay and the ability to bring in some natural light. Ill also be carving a mockup Quinjet out of blue foam and spray paint it. Plus ill be making some platforms for the training room. But most of my time will be making the props out of styrene. It'll be an interesting little summer project, as im off from school for four months.

any ideas are welcome of course!

Hey I finally got around to adding more shit to my dio. This time it was a football sized quinjet i handcarved out of bluefoam.

UPDATE: Added more pics of my progress and adding all the pics to the attachments at the bottom to not bog down the page and keep scroll time low.

ANOTHER UPDATE:
i decided to forgo the elevator cause I knew levels were not going to line up. I painted the floors white so when I stick on the lighting, the figures will show up easier, especially in photography.

UPDATE:

I have begin the rought framework for the different levels:
