bav-o-rama, Now with More Panelling!

Can you save links and formatting for WP classic editor but clean up spelling and grammar issues? One of the recent features we added to the bav-o-rama is removable panelling. The idea occurred to me when we setup the Tetris diorama with a TV, console, and [[The Shining]] carpet.

I kept the walls covered with the black garbage bags I used as a quick solution for […]

Tetris Diorama and the Birth of Console Windows

This is the fifth bav-o-rama in less than two years. This means I’m starting to move on this part of bava.studio after letting the first two linger for months (but The Shining and Creepshow windows were oh so good!). This Tetris/Console window was number five, and Mattia and I already have the sixth roughly mapped out. We might even make a They Live-themed event out of this one, maybe titled […]

Switched up to the Atari 2600 Pac-Man running on the 7800 system. I’ve read it was the first backward-compatible console with 2600 games, but as soon as you claim firsts…. #bavORama #bavacade #bavastudo

Tetris Diorama

Sometimes a plan just comes together, but I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge it’s all about Riky Saracco keeping on top of my lazy ass. The Halloween bava.studio event was a blast and Riky did most of the work for that one, but it’s still overhead. As a result, I tend to shy away from events at bava.studio. That said, Riky lined up another banger, this one featuring Giovani (more details […]

And I’m All Out of Bubble Gum

This is a quick note about the diorama after the next one. I will be working furiously over the next week or two to get a Tetris diorama up for an event honoring Italy’s own Nintendo Tetris World Champion. I’ll have more to say about that diorama shortly, but first let me plant the seed for another one my friend Mattia suggested a while back, a shot from [[John Carpenter]]’s They Live (that’ll […]

Silent Night, Deadly Night Diorama Live

Even with hitting 4000 posts I was able to knock-out the bava.studio diorama in just two days, a day earlier than promised. That’s service!

If we’re keeping count with dioramas, this is the 4th diorama in about 14 months. The work on the office was finished in September/October 2024, and while the Creepshow and Shining dioramas […]

Finishing Silent Night Deadly Night Diorama

Silent Night Deadly Night Diorama Progress

I spent pretty much all day at bava.studio putting together the Christmas-themed diorama featuring a 4′ high and 2.5′ foot wide wooden Silent Night, Deadly Night (1984) VHS tape. I almost knocked out the whole diorama in a day. In fact, if we weren’t scheduled to decorate the tree tonight I may have completed it. That’s a testament to being a bit more practical about this diorama. I scrapped […]
