Midnight in Gotham City

Just finished this for my 6 inch action figure collection. Its not entirely paper. I used gator foam for the base, back, and short wall. The props are all card stock. I made several props so I could change the display when I feel like it.

Nice! Small, but cute nevertheless.

I had to keep the base and background to 10.5 x 16.5 inches so I could get them printed cheap on 11x17 inch paper. I sometimes make them larger but I have to make seams in the images. Its too expensive to print on the poster printer.

I really like the small details, like the tar lines on the roof. Helps make the diorama pop.

Thanks Knife. I love building these. I'm working on a few more. I use local photography or combine images I find on the web to make my textures.

I've been working on my version of the cover of the 1938 Action Comics with Superman carrying the four door sedan over his head. I've got a paper model of the car sized to fit a six inch action figure. I'm trying to work out how to make the doors open and close. I found the figure I need to make a custom 1938 scale Superman and now I'm hunting for a DC Sandman figure with the double breasted suit so I can make a matching Clark Kent. Had to drop back on it since I've been having problems with my right thumb. I think I might have a tendon problem. But I'll get back to it as soon as the pain subsides.
