Ok so this is my second "little" project....

and I knew it was going to be tough but its getting harder by the moment.

so here is my update, slowly pieces are coming together, and I only have a base coat of pain on things...details to come...


so for this (because it was 3 bucks on clearance) i just used a storage bin. I liked the way the floor would look...



Here is the beginnings of the brain-wave scanner



I used this starwars guy as a mummified corpse type for the DNA extraction (he also comes with a little bar table that I plan to use as a console for a Cobra communications room)



I glued this little latter on here to look more like the comic version of the Simulacrum containment unit.

I am going to try and mold a very plain-jane non descriptive figure to place in this tank...along with some green dye

I also found a couple of boxes to used for crates of the dead, and I will use a maruaders gerny for storm shadows body...

Sweet, what is that on the other wall of the lab?

I like it, keep it up!

OH...its a "bionicles box"...that I filled will green tubes (DNA containment)


Note to self: may have to rethink the container idea...super glue does not seem to want to hold very well to it...

For larger pieces superglue won't work as well no matter what type of plastic it is. I'd recommend epoxy or hot glue. Both are a bit tougher to work with, but will be more secure, and if used carefully, probably look better.

That said, it's a great start.

If you can track down some of the Palisades Army of Darkness figures, I think you'll find all the mummies and skeletons you'd want for this project.

Use mighty putty, liquid nails or JB Weld. Gorilla glue works too

Hey great! I will see what I can track down!



Guys thanks for the info on glue types! I went and bought super glue gel, and it was easier to work with, but same results...very weak and breaks off easily.

I will track down some of this other stuff.

Have you guys seen the commercial where the "OXYclean beard guy" is selling their version of green stuff epoxy. 6 tubes for 19.99 or something...I almost bought some. I figure I will practice a bit more before buying some stuff.

just picked up a set of 12 for 20 bucks on ebay...

your right they look perfect. One of them even looks better for my Simulacrum than the clay sculpted one I did...

I am in the middle of making the display case for the Serpentor's helmet now. (top of the helmet is a piece of CCs staff and and the bottom jaw is sculpted and I will repaint green to fit the comic...

ok picture update time





here is a upper (blurry...sorry) view of the whole shabang.



Destro by the DNA samples (pumped up about a plan coming together), Officer unloading crates of specimens/mummys



Mindbender and a close look at my Brain-wave scanner



Very early stages of the Simulacrum creation



all purpose table but at this time Stormshadow has found himself here after Baroness has plugged him full of holes.



a non-flash picture to show off the working light.



Case with Serpentor's helmet...waiting for him.

Green like the comic version. (again I used a CC staff and molded the bottom piece with clay)

Again after a great idea of using The Army of Darkness figures (Thanks Hypno, I already bought them...coming soon from ebay) The dead and Simulacrum will get replaced shortly.

Also I have a horrible urge to put a bookcase or two in here...I feel like thats whats missing...

Great Dio. The light is very clever.
