Title: EOD training diorama
Post by: Ryan K on Fri 05/06/16 06:41 AM
I have lifetime supply of corrugated plastic yard signs and got a roll of thin cork.

For the rest, a Legend EOD controller with his back to the wall, Blast Tactical robot (pointed at the open door as it's going to enter about midway on the base and a Meng trash bin between the figure and open door way providing some cover.

Basic layout, the headless man is in place of the robot. The tape is concrete pavers.

So I need to work on the entrance size on my next build.

All the elements added. I used a euro tool to rough up the dirt areas. I think the base is kinda small overall for all the elements I am including.

A good learning experience for me so far.

Supercool Ryan!  You said you need to adjust the entrance size on your next build...why is it too late on this build?

I didn't account for material sizes and items are already glued and primed. It is tough to get straight lines when apart. Having a kneeing figure hides the short door height.
