    Superman's Fortress of Solitude NEW!

    This is version "Mark IV", some of you may remember the previous hand-made one I did a little over a year ago....Now it's been Dida-fied!

    Still a work in progress, as I'm awaiting some more Dida pieces to finalize the construction as well as placement of certain panels. Hopefully it'll work the same way I have it worked out in my head.

    Anway, when complete, it'll be a full carry-case placeset with fold down front cover which doubles as floor space, as well as two Dida triangles which fold out of the main shell to create more wall space.

    The splash front (which will eventually be moved to the large fold down cover...right now it's in the back panel):



    When the cover is folded down, the Key Door is revealed. The door, when attached, hold the 2 Dida Triangles in place inside the playset shell. When the door is removed (opened), the triangles can fold out and onto the door/floor. I still have to figure this part out.




    Back wall with Super-Computer and Emergency ViewScreens:




    Left side, Super Robots:



    Right side, Phantom Zone Viewer and Projector and Kandor Communicator:



    Left side, Kryptonite Lab and Secret Identities Vault:



    Right side, Super-Weapons Arsenal and Trophy Room:



    Left side, flip side of triangle, Hall of Allies and Rogues Gallery:



    Right side, flip side of triangle, Interplanetary Zoo:



    I'm hoping to have all of the panels in their own Dida sleeves..if that doesn't work out, then some of the artwork will be interchangeable, depending on your preference or play-mode.

      Hallelujah! The upgrades are amazing! Wow, it's just packed to the rafters with cool stuff. That background pattern is wonderfully textured and ties all of the elements together. Bravo, can't wait to get the new parts to you to finish it.

                  There will be a Superman Chair but Supes has never had the type of accessories that a character like Batman might have.
                  In the first version of the Fortress, I had stand-up cut-outs of the Phantom Zone Projector and the Bottle City of Kandor. This time out I decided to just incorporate them within the panel artwork itself.

                      This is a drawing of the playset design I think Anthony is using. I decided to add a Big Door to my order so it's possible to make full carrying case playsets with a Dida Display. This is one form that can take.

                            i really love to look at this stuff...some of it is very interesting and would be something great to have as a kid or as a true collector. i just cant believe that there is a market for it..who would have thought? lol.
                            some nice work, anthony...great job!!

                              A blank box with a big door would be $65, the triangle side wings $15 each. Art is extra depending...One of these has a lot of art in it.
