This is a somewhat unconventional use of Hasegawa's all-transparent Sabrejet model kit, along with Polar Light's Batmobile kit. I scratch built the ladder, wheel chocks and most of Wonder Woman's accessories, since the only WW figure I could find was a 3-inch vinyl figure of her wearing New 52 garb. The challenge in this diorama was working with so many difficult materials: clear polystyrene is brittle and difficult to glue cleanly. Using canopy glue was like watching grass grow, so I finally chased down some low-vapor CA glue. The vinyl figures could not be sanded, so to customize WW I needed to carve away some bits and use acrylic fillers to smooth out other bits. (Vinyl doesn't like lacquer, either, so everything needed to be water-based) Her belt and bracers were fashioned from pin-striping tape, and to put the stars on her fanny, I had to chase down some old dry rub transfers of small stars. Her golden lasso is real 14 kt. gold jeweler's wire. This was as much of a scavenger hunt than a build. The Batmobile was easier, with Molotow's popular Liquid Chrome marker proving to be exceptionally useful for detailing. The art used for the backdrop is mine. Enjoy!
