So the construction on my diorama sets for Darkness Falls have been continuing on, even if I haven’t said much about it recently. I had three fairly elaborate sets to build, and I think they’re pretty much squared away. I need to add some trimming to the throne room, but the foundations are all set. The three sets are as follows:
- COBRA Foyer
Basically a large cavernous room the focus of a pretty major shoot out. The last element I really needed were sandbags, and as I should have expected, Marauder, Inc. came through! They carry some great PTE sand bags that I used for the set, though I did clean them out of all their stock. I need to pick up a few more once they get more in.
- COBRA Tech Center
This was pretty straight forward, thanks to Joe Amaro’s fantastic G.I. Joe Base templates. Some foamcore, some print cartridges, glue sticks, and I was able to cobble together a pretty effective COBRA tech center. Tried to make it appear as if it was an underground room, though it didn’t come out quite as good as I’d hoped. Still, I think it’ll be workable.
- COBRA Throne Room
Anyone notice a theme here? :shifty: The throne room is fairly obvious in purpose, I’d think. I know it doesn’t look like much now, but I plan on adding some neat accessories to hopefully spice it up a bit. Once that’s done, I think I feel good enough about these to lock ’em up until I’m ready to shoot in them next year. Check out the pics below!

What’s the throne from? It looks familiar, but I just can’t place it…
Flash Gordon line from Playmates a number of years ago… it’s Ming’s throne.
You’re welcome for the sandbag tip 😉
For some reason the new version if IE we’re running at work won’t let me view the blown up pics but from what I can see in the thumbnails the sets look pretty sweet.
And I’m totally jealous of that throne. Been wanting one myself for quite a while.
Your tech center looks great! I might make something like that.
