A diorama is three-dimensional scene creating a moment in time, this could be a historical event or a fictional one, the choices are endless.
Most dioramas are created to go on to a wooden base, the size of which is up to the model maker.
I usually get an idea of what I want to create, then build the model/models such as a building and figures, then lay them out as I want the scene to look then make a base for them to go on to.
You may want to start with a base and then create your scene, especially if you are limited for space. Using this method, you may want to check the sizes of the models that you want to display, as they might not all fit on the base or make it look overcrowded.
The idea is to create something that is pleasing to the eye.
Dioramas can also become dust magnets so adding a Perspex box is a good idea, but entirely optional.
