Picking up where we left off, the bases are built, the foam is glued in and shaped. Now it's time to start adding color and texture, but first we need to coat the foam.

Diorama for Dinosaurs Part 1
Christmas was last week, and while I had hoped to finish building a modular dinosaur diorama, a virus kept me from my deadline.
I've been wanting to build a diorama for years, but have always found more pressing projects. This project may be as much for me as anyone else.
I knew I wanted something big with lots of features, but at the same time it needs to be portable. That transitioned to a tiled diorama. I considered squares, but that did not provide enough customization. A hexagon was it. I decided magnets would be used to hold it together. I didn't want the tiles slipping apart.
Did I mention this is for a two year old? I'm not sure how well construction will hold up to the rigors of a two year old, but I will found out in a week!

Patio & Bathroom Design
The task, design a patio and decorate a bathroom.
Patio Design
The current patio area contained a tall set of stairs without a landing. The goal was to have a patio that would house a grille and a landing to allow access to a clothes line. As you see, the design grew in size significantly.
