I start by looking at the terrain of where the diorama is going to take place.
Hilly background undulating foreground. Then detail a building, barn a shambles of a cottage.
Tracks fences telegraph poles sign posts. All of those details.
Then the background the most important of them all. Plenty of diorama pictures in very long length.
Then the foreground, flat or undulating. loads of polyfilla to make the undulating.
Then cover the foreground with grass stones gravel very fine gravel. Mix to make sure their is no
dividing line. Went down to the sea shore & found lot of bits & pieces. Shrubs a little way in from
the divide line help to hide it & give a 3d effect.
Next is to disguise the line of the vertical background & foreground. Boulders, bushes scrub anything
which hides that divide line. The divide line NOT straight wizz it in & out to make it interesting.
Front foreground. Similar to the divide line but perhaps lower in detail. Old rotten fences can provide
great detail.. Study pictures of the diorama location. So much in pictures.
Then add the models. All great fun. All using imagination. It is all build up from the main elements as above.
No restrictions no rules just how it appeals as you build it up piece by piece.
