Sick of trying to find good spots in my basement to take shots of my Sigma customs, I figured I'd whip up a quick warehouse corner for taking pics. Should also work with ML customs and others.
Early shots here, got the walls mocked up along with the door(non functioning) and laid down the dreaded wooden floor. Still need to weather/stain the floor. All rough edges will be trimed out(as you can see) the door will also have trim. Stay tuned! Bear in mind, this is supposed to be an old warehouse floor, so I didn't mind some of the gaps between the wood. Some of what looks like gaps are actually colored ends from the hobby shops color coding for price. |

Here is a table I scratch built a couple days ago It's going to go in the right back corner. Still needs paint. Last edited by CustomCreator; 06-08-2009 at 09:07 AM.. |

Made a bulletin board out of some craft cork and wood(obviously). Wood will be painted and maps and such will be printed out and tacked up.
Don't mind my ape hand...lol Showing where it will be adhered to the wall Put in a window. I will add a "frosted" piece of plastic to the back so it's not see-through. The top half was broken, so I added a piece of wood. Searching for some TEENY fans to put in, mimicking vent fans. Also started messing with exposed brick. The walls will be fake "stucco" with brick showing. The left side brick is the wrong way, I know. Enjoy! I have worked on the ceiling, but waiting for supplies to arrive. |

All walls are fully removable if I ever decide to sell this thing, I like my stuff to be able to be broken down for shipping.
Anyway, here are the pics The trim looks black in the pics, but it's a dark gray Ceiling shot: Trim/ceiling shot. |

This will be a "gun case" for some of the weapons in the Sigma world. I have created a frame for the front(still has glue drying) The front frame will have wire mesh simulating a type of chicken wire protective front. As you can see, they will attach via magnets. Of course painted.
I will use either clear acrylic rod, or the dowel you see here to support a few weapons. Nothing big, but just enough detail |

Small update here. Painted the door(will weather and add accessories) and started placing where I want exposed brick. I will be covering the walls with "snow" mortar that looks like concrete and is paintable. Also painted and affixed the cork board. Enjoy!

Ok, installed all my lighting, still have to adjust the blue LEDs for the weapons case and decide wether or not to keep the outer "security" cage on it.
I used 4 cold cathode lights for the rafters, gives enough light. Please note that all pictures were taken in the dark corner of my workspace with only the lights of the dio lighting it up. No flash on the inside shots. The wiring for the weapons case(behind it) Glued battery pack to wood and added a switch Main shot with Cold Cathodes Wiring for cathodes which I will clean up and mount the transformers and toggle switch....getting there! Also got the floor mostly done, added a kickplate to the door and dirtied it up a bit. Getting there! |

Well, kind of a HUGE fast forward. I almost didn't want to show this, because it's really 99% done in these pictures, and the final reveal might not be so new with only some little tweaks to it, but I am DYING to show these preliminary pics I took the other night.....
So without further ado..... here are the snapshots: Simulating "daylight" with a lamp shining through the faded "glass" of the window: With flash Blurry close-up of the desk: Another closer pic: I have added a lot more to it, but I am saving those pics till I put the final stamp on this thing. I am making this able to be switched between a "Joe" office and "Cobra" office with some subtle switches. Those will be revealed too. Hopefully within a week or so I can finish this....... Look forward to a new thread with probably 500 pictures.....lol this thing is so damn fun to shoot, and I haven't even added figures in yet! |
