40k Display

I was recently looking at the WD with space hulk in it, and I noticed that there was a deathwing diorama/display

I wanted to know, How does one create a display (in general)

Closest ive gotten is some objectives with leftover bits from a tactical squad box :)

I am also working on something (pictures below)

It consists of scout Torso/head/rifle, Cut down and repositioned Biker Legs, a Scout backpack, The Masonry from the Warhammer Giant Kit, a couple of toothpicks and a lot of greenstuff, I also have a voxcaster coming in the mail from a buddy :)

If you can't find the Macro button, just take a picture from farther away.

ok, but other than that, any ideas for any of the stuff?

Lots of plasticard, foam, balsa, bitz and time. Making a detailed plan or blueprint is also a very good idea if it's going to be larger than around 6"x6". Smaller than that I'd still make a rough sketch.

BTW, rain gutters work good. There was an article on the GW page a while back. Hopefully someone has a copy of it.

Some art supply shops carry the stuff too. As for how much I usually work out how much I'll need, then double how much I buy ;)
