NOTE: Some of the images contained in this post are NSFW

So all the wall and ceiling panels are now painted, and covered in PVA... They dried last night, and this morning I added magnets to all the remaining walls. Not the ceiling panels, as I didn't feel they needed magnets.

As I've currently got the door panel off from the dio, I'll show you how the magnets look in one of the other panels:


As you can see, there are three little earth magnets along the side edge, there are another matching three magnets on the door panel. 

I've had a little play at sorting out the door wall a bit more.


I've cut down some tongue depressors, and glued them along the side edges of the door opening to act as the other side of the door groove. Then I painted them white, and called that good.

Then I've used large Command Picture Strips to attach the door structure, and door onto the wall panel.


I used 6 pairs of 7.3kg/16lb command strips, so it should hold this in place. It is supposed to need 30 minutes to set properly. I'm going to give it overnight. Then I'll try that wall panel in place, and have a go at opening the door. Fingers crossed everything holds in place. You can just about see how the tongue depressors are acting as the groove sides. 

My next task is part of the dressing of the room. I've picked out some images I've take of the girls, in modelling poses and put them all on a A4 card stock, ready to be cut out... Apologies, some of these images aren't safe for work, but they are quite small.  I've sized them for 8" x 10" or 16" x 20" in 1:1 scale. 




Next I need to cut these out, and then see if I can create a frame for them. If that ends up being too fiddly because of the size, then I'll probably just mount them as if they are on a seamless mount. Either way will work.

I have the light I am going to use as the inside office light charging, and I am going to see if it is just too large for a 1/6 diorama, which is a possibility. More will be shown on this light in the next post.
