So got the wild idea to create a deadline for myself and make this diorama by the end of October. I have tons of bits laying around, including lots of orks and heads, I thought one day I could use them as masks, and the idea of my diorama, "Orktober 31st," was born. The idea is to basically have a whole bunch of the little green guys (in my mind, they're like "Despicable Me"'s minions, mischievous and hilarious) in lots of silly little vignettes, trick or treating along the way.
I had to start with a house, so I picked up the GW Chapel kit.
I wanted to give it a little extra life, so instead of having a static house with painted on fire, the idea was to do my first LED wiring job on a kit, and crack the door open to have some light spilling out while some ork was passing out candy. I started with the front face:
And dremeled the door out:
Then I painted up the "extra" door that comes with the kit, that's supposed to be glued on top of the other if you'd rather have different decor. Instead, I intend to glue it on and have it hanging ajar, but its easier to paint while its off the hinges.
More to come!!!
