HALO ODST Diorama - New Mombasa

[Timuche]

Another element of the scenery : the plants ! The New Mombasa is a city with a bit of greenery, so let's give it credit.

Like always, I drew the plans on AutoCAD then I started the laser cutting in 3mm MDF.

Then I start the assembly and gluing.

I cover everything with expanded PVC.

The primer layer for the plant box and also for the plants.

And with a little paint, this is the result !

Just stunned at the intricacy. I seriously believe all of your dioramas need to be sent to eh Halo Museum up at 343. You have got to share this with @misplacedyank, @grimbrotherone, @343postums on Twitter. Deserves to be seen in the Community Spotlight and Updates!

I really learned a lot just by watching this steadily grow....

This is very inspiring, I love a good diorama, and this is the best halo one i've seen! Any chance we can get a pic of everything you've done so far? a lot of the old pics in page 17 and before are broken

I'm glad to hear it and to know that what I'm doing can help other people do the same

Thanks a lot !!! Soon ! As soon as I have finished this part, there will be pictures of the whole because 25% will be finished




The police car of the NMPD is finally finished ! It took a lot of work from me but it was worth it, I'm happy with the result !

The heart of the lightup : the Arduino NANO !

And now, the result !

(The taillights have a lightup too)

Thank you so much !

I never get tired of seeing your updates on this project.

Now it's time to paint the floor of the diorama.

The primer !

And then the main colors for the "cobblestones" and for the road.

Then a lit work to get more old and dirty all that for a more realistic result !

Of course there will be a few more details later.
