It’s been a bit of a challenge getting time aside to continue construction on the COBRA Foyer, but slowly but surely it’s coming together. Sure, some of the seams are visible in the rock wall, but that will be easily resolved with Photoshop during post-production.
Base is all foamcore, with scrapbook paper walls and floor, plus a catwalk constructed out of balsa wood, bass wood, and some black paint. The latest treasure trove I found was at a hobby store…AM Models produces an HO Scale “stone wall” that comes in pieces to be assembled, and I used those small stones as the stones surrounding the arches, which came out pretty nicely, I think. I also included some figure pictures for scale. Some serious hot glue clean up is required before I wrap this all up.
Left to complete is the two doors, stone trim around the base of the walls, and a pair of stone columns in the middle of the floor. I need some COBRA wall decorations and some other little trimming. It’s not stellar, but it’ll work.

The latest installment in my Dio-Story universe…not sure of when it’ll start airing, but production is heavily under way!
“It’s not stellar.” What are you talking about? It looks awesome. I wish I could do something like that.
Nice work so far. If I did not live in a barracks then I could do a lot similar instead of using a 3d editor program to make my sets.
I gotta be honest, I envied your stuff when you had Joes sitting around a cardboard table in chairs made from window blind blades.
Yes, this’ll do.

Ha! Yeah, I laugh a little when I look back. But the philosophy is still the same…the story, not the props. 🙂
Will you be including new characters like Helix?
Billy – Not in Darkness Falls, no. But part of the reason why I want to wrap up the vintage storyline is so I can potentially branch off to Rise of COBRA/Pursuit of COBRA and start exploring the new universe and new characters. I just feel like I need to close this chapter before moving on to the newer stuff.
If all goes well, and things go smooth, though, once I dip my toes into the RoC/PoC world, Helix is VERY high on my list of characters I want to tackle.
Mate I can’t wait till you start your dio’s again. I’ve been following your stuff since Reunions. You have inspired me to start my own dio and have found how much work it is. RESPECT to you mate.
