This was my submission in the Joecon medium diorama section this year. All custom figures and took a long time to make. However very pleased with result. First time working with landscape and detail in this capacity.
I had alot of ppl ask me at the con about how I created certain things . Here is a list:

Blue insulation foam board (warped using torch)
Wooden trim pieces
2 part resin for water effect
Damaged mobat and cotton for smoke
Time machine: cobra pogo with pvc pipe and bits added. Electricity made using floral wire and hot glue
building is from goodwill
over 25 custom figures
indiana jones truck
charcoal for dirt
kitty litter for traintrack rocks
G scale train set tracks (damaged)
ninja turtle sewer playset telephone poles

more pics

This was awesome, I loved it.

Setting really reminded me of the Zombie Army Trilogy, and I saw some guys who looked right out of Frankenstein's Army.

Great job.

I've enjoyed looking at this one multiple times now and finding little details I hadn't noticed before.

This one was one of my favorites this year. So much fun detail packed into it, and some really cool designs. Great work man!

Agreed. I snapped off a single pic of every custom. Some I'd take a second pic if Hypno pointed out a cool detail or there was something from a different angle. I took over a dozen of this one. Every time I took a pic, I'd notice something else going on. Fantastic.

great work. love the terrain, and it looks like a lot going on that needs closer inspection. Parts of this remind of the old Command & Conquer game for some reason also.

Thanks gents .

Going through the JCA Round 1 Voting I came across your train depot again. Like Pluv and HH said, a lot of cool details going on. Only now I noticed the use of the Pogo Ballistic Battle Ball in pic 5 (you named it the time machine). Awesome! Those legs really provide the idea of "electricity going on"!

Thanks. This was one of my funnest projects I have ever done . It really made me research a lot about terrain building . I have been tempted to build on this project and make it a little bigger . However running out of space .

How much time did it take you to complete this awesome set and customs?

Just about a year. I got the terrain done first and then scrambled to get customs done before joe con. I literally was still finishing customs 1 day before the con.

You must have horrible, frightening dreams.

Nice work, though!!
