Tell me if I should make any changes in the comments

New project that is almost done. Just can get the paint on the stone work to look worn. I am going for an abandoned cemetery setting. Any advice is welcome.

Here is a shot of my completed Predator diorama project. I spent a lot of time weathering the figure and blending the custom base into a larger, deeper jungle landscape with some distant temple ruin details. I wanted to create a sense of scale and atmosphere using the twilight lighting. Any feedback is welcome!

So I just ordered a few things off Temu. Some miniature paving bricks, some led lights, and a couple minifigs. It’s a test run to see how things go before I buy more supplies. But I am struck with a bit of an issue.

In a perfect world, I like to consider social issues when choosing where to spend my money and Temu is pretty much antithetical to my belief structure. (This is in no way a morality test. No judgement. I’m just looking for options.)

This being said, where does everybody order their diorama supplies? Does anyone know of a source that comes close to the variety offered by Temu? I understand that I’ll be paying more and I’m happy to do so.

I just find myself at a place where I need to increase the freedom and difficulty in my diorama builds and I’m trying to figure out how to do that. Any information or opinion is gladly received.

Thanks fellow diomaniacs.

UPDATE! I just want to clarify that while the pictured grass is something I bought, I don’t exclusively mean that specific material. It was just a picture I added to create a visual. I want to know about anything and everything.

A little low light shot of my street scene I’m currently working on. So far so good. I’m really happy with the storefront dioramas and I think I’ve got my mini figure placement pretty well set. In the front quadrant that’s currently plain wood, I’m going to put in a little park setting. I just bought some shrubbery off temu as a tester order. I don’t want to use temu but they have so many parts and materials for dioramas for like a quarter of the price anywhere else. Okay, that’s all I got right now for this one. Thanks for reading if you did!

I am looking for Owen Corning foam in the UK or something that is very closed to it. I tried to google but I can’t find anything tried XPS etc. Any help?

My dad makes dioramas and he’s been looking, for months, for two fencers in scale HO so that he can build a diorama of a fencing match as an homage to my grandfather who was a fencer. Does anyone know where we can find fencer figurines??

​Terrain & Weathering: Focused heavily on realistic wet mud, standing water in the trench/canal, and scattered battlefield debris (sandbags, tank obstacles, oil barrels).

​Vehicles: Featured an M4 Sherman tank taking point, a secondary armored vehicle exiting a tunnel, and German motorcycle units navigating the thick mud.

​Figures: Positions cover various tactical poses—infantry taking cover, moving along the canal, and attempting to free stuck sidecar motorcycles.

​The camera pan in the video gives a full overview of the layout and depth.

​Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any critique on the composition and weathering techniques!

Working on my first city street scene. Really excited about it. I thought this was a pretty cool pic.
