2023 BAM Files!

Agreed. Very nice. That environment is awesome. Are those terrarium rocks?

The vibrant environment is amazing, as always. Not sure the outfit works for this purpose -- unless she were undercover, in which case she would at most have a piece discreetly strapped out of sight.

The Zona and Vicky sculpts are so great, as are these photos. Love it!

I like the moss on the rocks. The moss adds to the sense of humidity in the jungle setting.

Zona's outfit reminds me of something an "exotic temptress" might wear in a 1940s movie serial... or in the old Jonny Quest TV show. Perhaps not "practical" in a real world setting, but evocative of mystery and dangerous allure in a fantasy-adventure scenario.

Many thanks! I was really pleased with how the pics and character turned out .

Thanks Mark! I made all the dio pieces in the pic. I do have some of the boards you mentioned, which also often appear in my scenes. Again, thanks for the great comment .

Cheers Ian. As for the outfit, that is part of an ongoing story of which will be revealed in the upcoming chapters from the 'Shadows ' story . Hopefully, by then it will make more sense . Really pleased you liked the environment.

You got it Dave! I wanted a look just like that! a classic femme fatal type look. Really pleased you liked the set, I think it's the first time I've used so many home made pieces in one shot .

Thanks again guys for the amazing comments, more to come soon

Brilliant idea to combine your archway with the door diorama. Now it looks like the entrance to a secret bunker of a supervillain. Nice pics as usual!

Cheers Ralf! It's why I love building dio pieces, it allows an endless amount of set ups just by moving stuff around .

Very nice, the latest one is very nice I like the dress and thigh holster, very unique.

Thanks so much!

Still, one of my favourite super duck sculpts.

Very nice. Is that a mini video game player?

I like it too, somehow it manages to have more character and realism than some of their other heads.

Cheers Mark, yeah, it's a mini nintendo machine .

Thank you, Ian. Yeah, maybe it's the vibrancy of the eyes? I think it's still one of their best .

Thanks for the great comments guys, always appreciated

You may be on to something there. And, with enough makeup, some girls actually manage to achieve something like this look.

File picture.

Nice group shot. Really like the B&W version.

Cheers Mark , I've been making a few alterations to Jake's office, but the girls sneaked in for a quick shot before I could show the updates . More updates to follow tomorrow .

So, I finally decided to upgrade Jake's photocopied books cases in the study to a more physical version. I found some really cool small units in a stationary store of all places which work really well as book cases. The next problem was filling them!
After lots of searching the internet for an idea I had for a note book, I found loads of journal pages, from films and games. Using comiclife I created a system for creating pages in a book.



I cut out the pages.




Then folded them into their pages,



Then glued the back of the pages,



Then glued them into a cover,





Anyone wanting to make their own, just print these pages off at A4. They are perfectly sized.




I really didn't want to make all the books for the book cases with readable pages, so I went looking for covers,





Again, just print these off at A4, they are already perfectly sized. I cut down blank paper to the inner size of the book covers. Note, to give them a bit more stability, using cereal box type cardboard, I made inner covers and spines. Once they are together, they look like this,




Then they look great on a unit,



I probably made close, or over 300 books to fill Jake's book cases. Here they are refitted in the study

Excellent work. The results are lovely.

Thanks Ian! It is very rewarding when the books come together .

A few more shots of the kitchen diorama. I recently added a blind to the kitchen window Here are a few shots of Jayden relaxing on her day off from missions.

Relaxing? Isn't she looking at a map (presumably of her next mission!)? The blind is a nice touch to an already very complete kitchen.

That redone study is awesome. So impressive. And thanks for adding the details on how you did it, and all the covers and pages for everyone to print off (have to ask, since I'm clueless more often than not on how to shrink things -- what does A4 mean?)

That kitchen diorama is also outstanding. Beautiful work (and of course, your lady looks nice too).

Stryker2011 wrote:what does A4 mean?

Paper format, 210x297mm.

I also had a feeling that Jayden was planning something, albeit in nonchalant way.

Yes, you are correct Ian, or maybe a holiday? . I was really pleased with the blind, I made it from some wallpaper I had.

No worries Mark, always happy to help. A4 is usually the standard size for printers, so you just have to print them off, no resizing required . Really pleased you liked both diorama pics. They are great fun to do.

Thanks for helping clear that up .

Thanks for the info on A4. I could definitely use some of these books.

Wow, that's a lot of books! They look wonderful on the shelves!

Yeah! once you get into a routine of making them its actually a quick process . Really pleased you like them
