I hear you there. It takes so long for me to do a dio cause I try to do 'em cheap, they end up looking like that, and it pisses me off, so they sit there as I stare at 'em getting madder before finally saying "screw it", getting it done and vowing to come back later and make better. I can't afford to do 'em the way I want and don't have the time to do it. Also don't have the display/work space to make 'em the way I want.
So I just do it cheap and simple. They aren't the best looking things in the world, but they get the job done. I basically use 'em to set up a scene for display.
Also write-up After-Mission Reports, like the team leader would give the CO, describing the mission and what is going on.
I got a bunch of ones I want to do. I'm currently working out floor plans and exterior elevations (flat 2d drawing of the exterior look) for a Joe base.
Got a smaller base/bunker scene to set up (the bunker is done, just need the interior parts, the computer terminal is proving to be the hard thing to get).
Hoping to get the dock scene done this weekend.
