New Year's Resolution Number 2 is to "Finish what I start". I have several boxes of diorama pieces that I keep because "I
may need them some day." In addition, I have purchased items with the intent of "bashing" them - only to leave them untouched.
An example of this was the "Stage Diorama" produced by Integrity Toys this year. I purchased two of them because I wanted the flexibility of different backdrops, and I wanted to combine the floor to make it larger.
Over the holidays I buckled down and worked on this. This is result (without the lights attached):
I was trying to achieve the look of a penthouse in an old office building. I created faux windows by using a large double page photo of an Atlanta skyline after dark. I put transparency film over the pictures to make it look like glass. The brick is from Michael's - the floor is contact paper. I will need to re-glue parts of the vinyl brick because it is tricky to work with.
I wanted to see how a doll looked. Here is After Tonight Eugenia …
What do you think? I'm glad it's finished. I still have to add the lights, but I have a plan for that now. At least I'm starting out on the right foot on this resolution.
That Lemax vinyl brick is hard to get to lay down flat, you may need to use a heavy duty glue such as construction adhesive and lay the item down flat with some weight on top until it dries. Regular tacky glue may make it buckle since it is heavy.a heavy book or two might do the trick. I hope I have helped with my suggestions- and it looks good!
ReplyDeleteThis is nice. I love that brick paper I may have to go to micheals to get an up close and personal view of it. Good luck with finishing your dios.
ReplyDeleteGreat new year resolution, you are not alone with that one. I could also finish my projects in a more timely manner. Great start with this project though, that brick is awesome, and the metal awning is fantastic. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat diorama looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe dio is so suave...and seeing it with your doll really shows it off!
ReplyDeleteLisa thanks for the hint!
You seem to have made a great start with this resolution as your diorama looks good - with or without a doll.
