June 9, 2009 : Battlestar Galactica: Epic Battlegrounds

Don’t mess with the best!
Cause Starbuck & Apollo shows them who’s boss!

The latest of the Minimate Dioramas: a blending of the Toys R Us Minimates!

Man does Athena look PISSED! (Note to self…do not get Athena angry…).

Behind the Scenes!!! You know you can’t resist!

Hmm…Now to make the right scale… Measure Minimate-CHECK! Measure Hallway printout -CHECK! Make architecture plans - CHECK! Drink loads of coffee - SUPER CHECK!

Goop: The best in hallucinogenic glues.

Would you believe I was in architecture school? PU teachers take note! I can cut a dowel without cutting my fingers!

Let’s put it all together: How to make sci-fi hallway mesh? Secret Home Depot trick: Window screen sprayed with metallic silver!

Ug…why won’t it stay put!!! Apparently the dowels wanted to be free. I cannot allow this.

Naked Minimate Dance!

So close to being done! Secret storage box trick: Those are actually Star Trek Med kits! I salute DSTMatt for that idea!

Sigh! Obvs. add some filters, lighting effects & silly smoke and you get something like this:

A bit like the last supper in LA Smog.

Next step… trash the one above and start over!!! Ug.. not impressed. But see the super awesome top set-up in your BSG action figure inserts! Oh boy!
