The Beck Bridge - Supersize Me

With the cat food box sliced horizontally in Tectonic Shift, measurements were taken to allow the construction of a sturdy base for a larger diorama. As outlined in The Saga Continues, this takes the form of a plywood and timber structure very similar to that on 'The Headshunt'.

And underneath:

The length of the diorama is 14 inches, the same as 'The Headshunt', as that has proved to be a workable size for photography and storage. All materials are recycled, the plywood used as the edging coming from an old wardrobe, I've hidden the veneer on the inside as it is the only downside to using the material as it splinters when cut. the other side, used outwards, cleans up very nicely for painting. With the existing diorama and bridge in place an impression of how it will develop can be gained.

The remains of the cat food box are a very tight fit, having foreseen this two pencil-sized holes have been provided to allow it to be pushed out!

In due course the cat food box will be glued in place, but not before the outer frame has been painted.
