Re: Bookshelf Dioramas

I think for conveying the more challenging scenes, like a beach scene, you could easily print a backdrop of a beach. If you dressed it up like it was a parking area overlooking the beach... ie, with a little wooden guardrail before a "hill" that lead down to the beach you could easily get away with just an image of an ocean and maybe some distant beach/cliffs on one end or another. Keep what's on the backdrop limited to nature, maube? I think the trick is to avoid anything man-made being depicted in 2-d on the backdrop, or else it be at odds with the miniatures. Model railway folks have been doing this for years.... Add some bright light and you're in.

If you built the sorts of cars I did, you could easily make a parking garage level. Hooligans with Hondas meet up like this ALL. THE. TIME. but the Ferrari crowd probably wouldn't. I feel like someone on AF did this at some point a while back.

This is a great idea, I've been thinking about something similar too, but decided to build some cars first, haha.
