The RZ HQ build thread...

Well, like the title states, I'm building an HQ. I have a long ways to go but figured I'd put up some pics for anyone that's interested... ...working on level 1:

The floor:



Had some help:



From underneath:



Hmmm, I walk away for a second and this happens...DANCE PARTY  



Anyway, back to work:



So who's holding up the wall? We brought in some "muscle":



Got that done, I have one more wall to do but I'm waiting because I may make this longer   :



Bought these at Hobby Lobby for the walls, grabbed the whole stack, lol, the poor girl who had to count them all   :



Not a great pic, but you get the idea, after the glue dries then I'll trim them to size:



A few friends stopped by:



Onto the door. I cut this from foam board. I think it's going right here:



Made a second piece to go behind it for the actual doors:





Hmmm, what color for the door? I'll use this, it's Silver Metallic:



Seems this stuff does bad things to foam board   ...I know! I'll paint some posterboard and glue it on!:



I bought this "door seam maker" off of ebay... :



Painted the trim and here it is...needs detailing, tho...



Anyway, that's it for now...gotta go, I'm hearing dance music from my 1/6 room AGAIN!

Fantastic stuff Razz! and little kelpers too?? mine are lazy little sods , leave me to do all the work! Its looking really good! lots of space for future photo shoots. The doors were a great touch!
Now all you have to do is keep the troops from partying in there while you are away!  Love that robot by the way! you should appoint him security while the project progresses! Looking forward too seeing more

Fabulous start to The RZ HQ build, looking forward to seeing more pictures throughout progress of the build of RZ HQ.

Great stuff.....

Nice work!!!

Look forward to seeing how it progresses.

Thanks, everyone! Trying to find a couple of parts that I KNOW I have...

Fantastic job so far!

Enjoyed all the pics...

....so far so good!

Thank you Jim! And skj! here's a quick little update...
Every HQ needs a loud speaker....here's mine...I took the cover off of one of those things you plug into a wall outlet to drive away mice, etc...a bit of paint and...



This is just for scale...Joe will NOT have to hold this thing up...calm down, Joe activists...



Hmmm, while I was at it, I figured an intercom next to my fake door would be appropriate...oh, what you can do with the filter from a really old smokeless ashtray and some shelf liner...



Ok, I'm thinking right about here...



Now for a button....hmmmm, maybe this little lego looking thing...just gotta cut it down a bit...



Not too bad a job for eyeballing it after 7 beers and a few shots...



Why is that I can put a tiny piece of plastic where I want it everytime UNTIL! I put glue on it...then it becomes animated...anyway, this was the idea...



A quick coat of flat black and then a few coats of blue for the intercom button...Why a few coats? Razz is a cheap S.O.B...



I try to add what I feel are the necessities, things that are vital for my HQ to survive...and THIS is what I get in return...



Until the next update..."HEY! You guys are working in there, right?"

A fantastic update Razz! the intercom is a great touch! Looking forward too seeing more mate

Thanks for the update! Great job!

Great pic to hang...

OMG WOW. Dal you should use that picture as inspiration for your next 1/6 female picture

Nothing exciting, just a couple of pics to show I'm still working on it... ...anyway, the beginnings of the computer center...





This will able to track anyone that's on a mission...My people like to know where each other are...

Nice progress, Bill!

Ya know, what i have always wanted to see someone do (but am too lazy/cheap to try myself) in one of these
home made HQ's is, you know how they have all the TV monitors located along the top of the walls in
the ATHQ (?) would be to mount a few iPods in place of them. So, instead of having photos of the figures on
various missions in various settings you would actually have a real screen with a photo. You
could even have them with moving images.

well, it was just an idea...

Thanks Brian...That's kind of what I have in mind...I have a buddy whose into this also (matter of fact, it's his fault I'm into it now... ...) Anyway, he is really good at electronics and things like that...he's taught me ALOT...just don't get him started on LEDs...lol...Anyway, again, what you said is what I want to do... ...Thanks for looking...

I agree gibri, I have an old MP3 player with some Ironman video on it. I can't get my pic to upload, but it's my first post here.

Hey PB!! Glad to see you made it here...these people are really cool...I think you'll like it here...Just so you guys know, PB is a real life buddy of mine...although I'm not sure that's something to brag about... ...lol

Looking good Razz!

Thanks, Jim... ...It's slowly coming along...

Thanks for sharing the updates on The RZ HQ build. It’s the smallest things that makes up the details on a HQ. Really looking forward to seeing how the computer centre is going to look once it’s finished.

Thanks, Ackie...hope it turns as good as it looks in my head...lol

Great work, You're really making progress!

...and I love how you're already training the guys how to use the equipment before it's even arrived!!

Fantastic progress Razz!
