    Model railway folks also do similar work. Contact the model rail guys in your area.

    I have done a little myself a long time ago. I dropped it, and always wanted to get back into dioramas, but not so far. RC has me too busy.

    I took these pics of dioramas that I found inspiring last year...

    Coolwings,

    Great work, always wanted to give that time of thing a try for displaying my cars, but have decided to concenrate on improving my modelling skills first, then worrying about displaying them.

    Oh forgot to say in the other thread, The Dokters Focus is fantastic looking, if either The doktor or yourself could do up a step by step guide I know I would really appreciate it.

    I should not take credit for other peoples stuff.
    I took those pics because I was suitably impressed and I wanted to have a go soon. So these are to imspire me and get me up and going!#

    The steelyard is just incredible, the pic only shows about a third of it.

    My son a done a house/ diorama, I will get him to post a pic or 2 in the pics of models thread.
