SOMETHING BIG. I have been planning this, probably not as long as Dean Martin in the movie of the same name, for a while now. Acquiring the chairs finally let me do it. First I printed out the table top and laminated it to a piece of cardboard. Then I made the base and leg and glued it together. Then I printed out the portrait from Smallville and made the walls from scratch in Paint. I mounted the walls on foam core board and assembled.
Because of a comment about my furniture, I decided to take a quick look at the chairs available to 1/18 scale. From left to right: Parlor chair from the Halloween collection at Michaels, folding chair from World Peacekeepers HQ playset at Big Lots, Armchair from BifBangPow's Shark Tank box sets, Justice League chair from Pocket Superheroes line by DC Direct,and Star Trek bridge chair from Playmates movie bridge playset. The only chair I know about right now that I do not have is the Mego Hall of Justice/Fortress of Solitude playset chair from the Pocket Super Heroes line (note the spelling).
I found this papercraft tv Batcave at AFT downloads. These are the only 2 pieces I have done so far. Thought I would shoot a pic to see how well they scaled.
Looking for some more papercraft pieces to populate my Batcave. I found the computer bank in a Dr Who set, the gray wall unit in a Frankenstein's Laboratory playset, and I made the black Power Unit from scratch in Paint several years ago but never had the chance to print one out and make it until now.
I thought I had seen a phone, so I took my 40% off coupon to Hobby Lobby and voila! Of course it is metal, so I have 2 options: repaint which means priming first, or make a mold and recast in resin as many as I want.
I was not happy with my first cast. The resin is supposed to set up in 3 minutes, but when I demolded it after 5 it was still a little soft. I think the resin mix is just old, so I went back to Hobby Lobby and got some more, and found this cake stand while I was there.
