Apu´s Kiwk-E-Mart diorama
Hi, I´ve just finished my new dio, Apu´s kwik-e-mart from the Simpsons, to place the figures from playmates.
This time I used balsa wood, fimo, polyfoam, cardboard and a new material, transparent pvc, to make the big window, doors, microwave, donuts expositor and jerky pots to appear crystal like.
It was very funny, because kwik-e-mart has a lot of tiny things to make but also it took a lot of time and work, mostly donuts and magazines.
I´m a simpsons fanatic so I had to make a dio, I hope you like it.

Haaahaha! That last one made me laugh for ages.
I'm impressed! And jealous, all those details and the sheer quality of this are just smashing.

Our choicest plans have fallen through, our airiest castles tumbled over, because of lines we neatly drew and later neatly stumbled over.

That's awesome! I'm seriously impressed by your attention to detail...right down to tiny hotdogs!
There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning....
And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave....
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

Thank you for your words!!! It was a tough work but if you like what you´re doing it´s easier to do.

That is amazing detail, and good proportion too. I love how you've even included the view outside.
