This was the set I made for my End of Days: Road Rage Dio-Story. I spend just over six months putting it together.
WIP pics . . .
I used sections of plexi glass for the base totaling 6'X12'.
For the plexi base I used the following to transform it into a road . . .
My kids helped with painting the bottom . . .
The shiny one is turned over with an unpainted top. The second is sprayed with textured paint- one coat . . . .
Over the six months I collected bits and pieces- like casting fire hydrants . . .
The sidewalks were made from 1/4" plexi (With this project I tried to do everything on a budget, since the set was mainly done for the one Dio scene).
I created six different building for the Dio . ..

Apartment building (in the alley you can see the Left 4 Dead crew. I shot a scene for the Dio-Story with them in, but wound up not using it).
Pool hall . . .
Liquor store . . .
Speed shop . . .
Under construction . . .
Office building . . .
Overview, with my nephew and son for size reference . . .
I used craft paint to do the lines in the street, and curb side. After I sprayed everything with a clear coat so the streets could stay outside without getting damaged.
Random shots. . .
Overall I'm happy with the turn out, especially when considering that I made this for one Dio-Story. But now I have it for future custom pics.
