Dioramas are miniature, three-dimensional scenes that tell a story or capture a moment in time. They’re used in hobbies and a model car diorama could be the perfect way to showcase your collection in a realistic setting.

How they are made:

Foam board or wood for the base

Acrylic paints for scenery

Miniature figures, vehicles, or buildings

Natural textures like sand, gravel, moss, or twigs

Lighting (LEDs) for added realism

Why Dioramas are popular:

They bring models to life by placing them in context.

They’re a creative blend of art, storytelling, and craftsmanship.

They can be educational (like museum displays) or purely decorative.

Model car collectors enjoy adding a garage scene, a racetrack, or a city street to their display.
