Long time lurker here that finally has enough time to get back into hobby-ing...So I have started back into working on custom pieces recently, more specifically playsets/landscapes cause there is a severe lack of them for 1/18th or better scale figures...
So far I have gotten a temperate zone Ruins set done and now working on a Desert Canyon Wall setup. The carving is done for the most part, now down to painting it and the detail work...Most of the work is done in Foam with other elements added here and there...Wanted to get some feedback from some fellow customizing Tankers on some areas of improvement, hints, or things they would like to see that I can try out... Here are the first few shots using the Ruins...then the WIP pics are of the Canyon walls... |

Cool stuff. Can't wait to see the canyon wall complete. That would look good with Alpine or Hit N Run scaling it.

Thanks Neapolitan, I hope to add the Canyon Dio there once its complete...
Hey Ron, I carved out a hole in the base and inserted a LED candle into it to give the appearance of a burning fire minus the real fire... |
