OK, so this has been in the works for a while now, my work travel schedule only gives me a weekend a month to fiddle on it. I am currently remodeling my top floor of our house and the largest of the rooms will be the toy room (I love my wife). The plan is to make a diorama/Play room that my kids can really have some fun in and also have built in wall displays on one side for my "look but don't touch" stuff.
The idea is: Build a modular Diorama that can be 1.Played with (most important as I want my boys to have fun with their joe's and even SW's) 2. Movable 3. Easily added on to. Because we are still in construction mode on the upstairs i've just been building the 1st section on the dio room. Each section will be squares that can be removed or moved relatively easy. What better way to work out the kinks then to just build. This is the outside of our PIT. Our pit is in a desert type area like I have in my backyard (about 10 min from home). NOT the Sahara, but rather a sandstone/Granite exposed area with vegetation like cedar and sage. Pictured is just the outside, the HQ area is also in production and photo's will come soon. Sorry about the quality of the photos. Camera sucks and shooting in my shop-

Thanks for the great comments! It's taken extra time to make it "playable" but I think its time well spent. I always wanted something like this when I was a kid, so my boys will get to live out my dreams.

Seriously, you should. I was surprised at how much fun i've been having putting this together. Sometimes my oldest comes and helps, he get's to tell his friends that he helped make "the pit". It's been a very rewarding little project, and the cool thing is it's really just begun.

And I still have the PIT area to attach onto the back and the "cap" on the top. It will be the actual HQ area, with 4 levels. It's about 80% done now, i'm adding lights and starting to hide cable now. I'm not going to be crazy anal about the little stuff as it is for play after all.
