So here I am bored today. I looked at the box of Matchboxes and Hotwheels and a Sheet of wood I started to turn into a town diarama awhile back and decided today was a good day to kinda work on it some more. This is what I started to do on it so far.

Nice work. I recently just started one myself - the pics are on this forum, but quite large...

I love Matchbox dioramas. They bring me back to my childhood a long time ago; a simpler and easier time. Great job and keep us posted.

D&D that is really nice!..But please have your mom or dad show you where the die cast and hot wheels section is.
Your stuff is very nice, but this section is for adults who build models and things like that.
Very nice! I bet your folks are very proud of you!

Steve

I' ve been working on it. I have my railroad buildings to use. I will get around to setting up again. I just don't know what to put up as a back ground yet.

awesome looking D&D! Gives me inspiration to post some pics of a diorama I'm creating, sort of a 'work in progress'. It's good to have a site like this to encourage creativity...been making a concept of an 8 lane freeway with a cloverleaf interchange, still collecting the materials though,

looks like things are coming right along there-

i'm no expert, but you could always use photos- or ready made backgrounds... i prefer just pale blue hardboard, with or w/o some clouds painted on. Even a plain background really focuses people's attention on the scene.

Looks good there D&D, keep those pics coming! Diomaker had a very good idea, add in some photos for more background detail. Keep up the great work!
