Starting this one now.

 

[papa 695]

Ok got some work done on this, it’s not fully put together yet. Just wondering what to do with it. Like the box art or a bay diorama.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Box art! Loving these by the way....makes me feel like a kid again...

 

[papa 695]

Going for the box art type dio, so made some changes to the pod and the hole were the pod sits in TB 2.

 

[Tim Marlow]

Great stuff. Loving this already!
