Great pics, and a perfect setting! Very cool, Falcon.

Thanks, and you're welcome, man. Don't forget to post your build!

Thanks, everyone! Ha! Well, there is some paper in there, in fact two kinds ;)

Ha! Nice. Yea, it was tough to hold back on all the jokes. Thanks, guys!

Man, yours looks awesome, Medd. I imagine it went together faster, as well, as foam is so much nicer to work with as well as cheaper. You haven't run into any issues with the hot glue gun melting the foam? Very cool... And hell no I don't mind!

Now, I’m just starting off with this hobby, so I’m not one to school anybody on techniques for aging or finish painting, but here is my completed dumpster: Of course, Kwinn shows up… He loves dumpsters! Junkyard approves! That’s it...

While stuff is drying, add the rim of your dumpster. I’ve just cut strips of wood, again, gluing them in place and then trimming to fit. Crap! I forgot the dumpster lifts and wheels on mine. No worries, you can add them on at any point. Pop down a bit and see mine are added after the first...

Hello, Fighting 118th! Everybody likes an urban landscape every once in a while, and for me nothing says urban like a cold bottle of your preferred beverage and all the promise that a dumpster can hold. So, grab a drink and let's get down to business. Dumpsters 101: This is my second...

Right on, that is not at all what I was thinking of. Should be easy to find if it is at Michaels. Thanks!

So I picked up some Tamiya acrylics to start experimenting, but first I need to finish this dumpster tutorial. Right on, man, thanks! So where would one procure liquid latex? Are we talking about the same stuff used for FX? The cheapo Halloween store shit, I assume, would not be recommended...?

Thanks for the tips everyone, but yea... Smooth is what I'm looking for. Even with the higher end Liquitex, it just isn't giving me the results. I found a shop not too far that has Tamiya and Model Masters, so I'll be hitting that tomorrow. I'll keep my low end Liquitex for the dioramas...

Well that's that, then! Time to get serious about finding some model masters... So glad I didn't start on a figure. Thanks, everyone.

Resurrection time, as I'm having some issues painting vests and such, and I don't want to ruin any more parts! So I've had adhesion issues with regular Liquitex Basics paints, but that's an expected problem. I tried using Testor's model paint (not model masters, as I have not found that yet...

Ypu haven't missed a thing, man, I just haven't gotten to it. I'll work on the tutorial for it this week, though, and PM you when it goes up. Cheers, Jason

Outstanding! I'm itching to zombify some dudes, and this is immensely inspiring. Rixk looks badass as well. Well done.

Thanks, everyone. As far as more info on the dumpster, I'm going to scan in the template tomorrow and add it to the post I put the spec in. I haven't started the run-off dumpster yet, as I was working on one of teh buildings today. Hahahaha! Nice.

My pleasure, man! Very happy to contribute to the incredible knowledge base on here. I hope folks can use it.

Part 2 Now, for terrain, sometimes I go over again with a thinned bit of glue and a soft brush. You have to be careful though, as with just one layer the tissue can come apart easily. Good news is that it is as easy as dabbing another small bit of tissue on to patch up and spots. Let the part...

Hello Fighting 118! As I’ve been posting pictures and progress from my first diorama, it was suggested that a tutorial for one of the techniques I use called scrimming would be helpful. So here it is, Scrimming 101: A bit of history for the nerds out there… This is a technique used by...

I *just* dropped the hammer on one of these badass little birds, so I'll be following this thread closely!
