Creating a large diorama means a lotta of details parts are required.

So like a “bat out of hell”, on a “hot summers night” each item was given a base coat for protection with highly diluted Etch paint. 

Items range from 1:87,   1:48, and 1:24 scale.

Many of which , I will use for the “3 Amigo’s”s

I let the paint base coat cure for a week, minimum, then cut “icy pole sticks” into individual sections. 

Each item can then be painted “when the mood strikes“.
