Here is the WIPs of my 1/18 scale mech bay, it will hold the three mechs I have plus another couple, should I ever get more!

I'll be adding a multi level command center to the left of the bay door, a bay for each mech, helipad on the roof, and other stuff I have yet to think up!

Beachhead was kind enough to pose to show scale:

I have the roof built, I am gonna move the supports that it rests on up a couple of inches so that there is more room inside and so figures can look over the edge of the roof. Angie was kind enough to pose to show scale:

I have added three floors for the command center, its a reverse pyrmid so not only will there be room for the mechs, but it will give me more space for the command center in what would have been an open area.

It's not the best construction, I'll admit, but hey, I'm new at this and as long as it's playable, I dont really care. I just need to make stairs now....

Help with that?

Beachhead once again is nice enough to pose to show scale:

I can't say enough about this piece. I have commented at CC a couple of times on it, but now that it is here, and workedup further, I get to comment again! YAY!!

Dude, this is seriously turning out to be awesome. I can't wait to see it done.It's actually inspired me to start one for my Cody's Commandos series of customs. Of course, I gotta finish their vehicle first.

Of course, I, uh... I gotta start their vehicle first..

Thanks Jim,

I havent really had a chance to do much to it recently. Between Chirstmas and all the new toys coming out, I haven had the money to do much.

I have been working on the mechs, however and am about 1/2 way done with two of them.

I am envious that you have the space and resources to work on a diarama this big!

Your broke cause of the price of those freaking mechs! I see those going for arround $200 most places I see them online!

Wish I had the space for something like that. Those two Scopedogs you have there customs or Microman one? Wouldn't mind getting one with a chaingun.

The black one is the same one you got in the mail the other day, a Strikedog and the tan one is a 1/12 scale Brutishdog, it's big, but the GTG Roadpig fits perfectly in it

The figures fit in a cockpit, right? All over that sucker! ;D

Yeah, I have the same Brutishdog, but I got an older one that didnt come with the chick (which made it way cheaper). Sorry about the quality of the pics and as you can see, I am in the process of customizing all of them....

Its an a couple of inches taller than the Scopedog and an inch taller than the Strikedog:

But like I said before, the GTG Roadpig fits PERFECTLY inside!

I havent got any more of the building completed, but I've kinda started sticking stuff inside, kinda looks like they are moving in.
