Space Hulk Diorama
Structurally sound
To start things off, I knew I needed a sound center piece to build everything around. I wouldn’t dare making a plinth (not with Lloyd watching), so I started with some of the gorgeous industrial terrain kits GW make.
First up, I needed walls. I like the columns from these sets for this. Mainly, because they are not completely closed. That means I can make walls that you can see through, which is ideal for a diorama like this.
The only thing is: they are too high to make it look like a confined space, so I cut out some bits.
And this is where things went wrong the first time. I was having fun, cutting and gluing stuff, completely forgetting I was supposed to be taking pictures. So yeah, all I can show you is a finished shot of the basis for the diorama.
Something special I did here, was this: I cut up an extra floor plate, so I could have parts of it raised. I want to have a definite downwards motion in the diorama, which begins with the main platform. And apart from that, it just looks cool, I think.
