Those stairs railings might be easier to make if you make them look as if they are metal. Somewhat like your electrical pipes on the wall like @ 19:36. I know you have the wood guard railings already, but I have seen both, wood and metal used this way. I noticed that the railing you are using is eating up your steps useable stepping surface area. If you make pipe like railings ,then you could attach a vertical railings to the brick wall (like they were fasten by using heavy duty bolts and to the hand railing.

[@AlFigures]

***** ... thank you for the tip... much appreciated!

[@christophercerda]

Sweet! it looks awesome

[@AlFigures]

christophercerda ... thank you Chris

[@Areycey]

Cool build brotha I love the pics you posted on instagram with this dio

[@AlFigures]

Spooder Man ... thank you.

[@ArticulatedDoom]

What I use for "wires" is usually paracord. I use it for cosplay props that may need wire. I know this vid was posted a while ago, but maybe you can still use it in the future

[@AlFigures]

Mauricio Vazquez thank you for the tip, much appreciated.

[@ArticulatedDoom]

Al Figures I hope it helped

[@BobtheOdd]

"Try to get them done with in 10-14 days" Used to take me that long to build interest in doing the dio for the person. LOL Always great Al.

[@AlFigures]

Bob the Odd ... hahaha... I feel you... which is probably why I'm selective with commissions... if I'm not looking forward to it, it will take me forever! And thank you bro.

[@sicario6793]

nice job bro

[@rektangular]

Nice work dude!

[@AlFigures]

rektangular ... thank you brotha.

[@njtree]

[@wnysnoopy]

[@AlFigures]

wnysnoopy ... skinny sticks, walmart has them for about $3 for 100 of them

[@undeadmedia8389]

[@AlFigures]

+Marvelous productions ... word!!! Thanks for watching and good luck on making some dio's... it's a really fun process.

[@undeadmedia8389]

+Al Figures I'll probally start them over the weekend cause I have some studying to catch up on I have a semester final tommorow.

[@KameoKid]

Where can I buy those silly straws for the piping? Thanks

[@ragingtothemax]

amazing! I always thought the channel name was ai figures

[@AlFigures]

Roberts ... thank you... lol, AL Figures... used the same name from my instagram account

[@ragingtothemax]

yeah i follow you onthere i guess i never noticed lol

[@alohaservedatlast3538]

what do you make the poles out of?

[@AlFigures]

TheDarkRobin ... what poles? The electricity pole?

[@alohaservedatlast3538]

yes sir

[@AlFigures]

TheDarkRobin ... I used insulation foam board

[@SSBKev14]

Love the way this looks! You probably mentioned this but what wood did you use to make the steps on the stairs and the door and the other wooded pieces?

[@AlFigures]

Thank you. Yeah, i'm sure I mentioned it.

[@hollyingraham3980]

Basic problem: the risers come up over the edge of the tread. Never seen that & all carpentry books say to cut boards so the treads cover the top edge of the riser. Everything else looks great, but that puts my teeth on edge. Probably because everything else works, so this sticks out more.

[@AlFigures]

I'm just an amateur diorama builder creating these for action figure photography. Luckily, I didn't need any building inspectors y9 sign off before I shipped this out, lol. Thank you for watching, and for your input.

[@MaxDLake]

Hey Al! Back to watching as many of your videos as I can! VERY impressive seeing your skills progress! Couple questions: Are the stairs made out of balsa wood & glued to the foam staircase? Also, how did you carve the round electric pole out of the foam so perfectly? I'm pretty sure I know how you detailed it to give it the wooden look (prolly same way you detail wooden floors) but would love to know how to make electric poles so perfectly. THANKS! & keep up the great work!

[@mattheworr6164]

[@vinnyboombots8270]

Dio looks good just one thing on the stairs. The risers/toe kicks should go under the treads and not in front of them and for the rails, it would be too hard and drawn out of an explaination on how to fix them. I'm a contractor/builder and have built many, many decks and porches in my time and the principles of that type of building would apply in any scale. Get a book on how to build decks and stairs/rails and it will help you a great deal

[@williamtucker8201]

Where did get those little tiny 🍺 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@AlFigures]

tiny?

[@williamtucker8201]
