 You might want to take a look at the web page Box Dioramas .com. Sorry I could not come up with that last night . Also one of the model railroad books you might like is called back drops. Willie

You might also try looking here, there are a couple of relevant articles such as the flight from Amana.  http://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?action=kb;area=cats;cat=2

Thanks guys. Nothing so elaborate. I was thinking just an open vignette on a base with some groundwork (paving I suppose) for the pope Julius WIMOR set

@Porthos,
I think it would be more easy to answer, if you could specify a bit,
what dioramas you have in mind:
Flat  "at-the-wall" boxed dioramas require slightly different approach than big, table sized diorama
(in nearly every aspect - landscape, buildings, figures of different size, lights ect.)

Regards
Joerg

Does anyone have a "diorama construction for morons" type of article with fairly detailed instructions that they could post?  As usual I'm clueless but would like to give it a try, and I know some of you folks are the last words on this subject. Thank you in advance!
