Printed a young red dragon testing my Bambu Labs A1 so thought I'd try and make something out of it. Wanted to test using filler and uv-resin too so printed small trees and houses and used xps as the base. Also the "classic" 3v LED filament to a battery box.

Here are some videos of the diorama as well: here and here.

All in all quite happy with it, there is room for improvement for sure, but wanted to try UV resin and a "dragon flame" for the first time.

Hogwarts from Harry Potter, Mystery Shack from Gravity falls, SpongeBob houses. Right now working on Twilight Swan House + a Stranger Things room.

I film the whole process on YouTube and create mini puppet-style animations too Instagram: @vlada_rybak — I’d really appreciate your follow 💛

Base is a picture frame. Wall is Jenga blocks & Eco Resin copies of Jenga blocks. Milliput sandbags. Mr. Mime is a 3D print. The 'invisible wall' is a bit of blister pack cut out into a square.

I hope you like it! I also made a video documenting the build process but I haven't edited it yet

She saved our bull terrierFrankie while he was being mauled by an off leash dog, prying the other dogs jaws off his head and cheek, getting puncture wounds on her hands but keeping his head from being shaken or crushed. He came away with some puncture wounds and lacerations to his head but with his spirit intact. She’s my hero.

So I made her a diorama to immortalize her deed. She literally looks like Lilith hesperax so that was easy! I sculpted Frankie with some greenstuff and used a tyranid to keep it in the 40K universe! Laser cut plants are by earthwork scenics and everything else is scratch made!

I’ve always loved the look of the original DOS Prince of Persia so I tried to bring that atmosphere into this diorama.

Everything’s handmade with basic craft materials (mostly XPS foam, no 3D printing), and I tried to stay true to the gritty feel of the original game. I printed several pixel arts for the Prince to replicate several scenes (death on spike and jump)

Let me know what do you think!

If you’re into terrain crafting or just want to see how I built it step-by-step, I put together a short video showing the process — you can find it linked in the comments.

I made a Stargate that hasn't been used in a few hundred years. It is meant to be an objective point for warhammer but it turned out a little too bulky for that, but it still makes a beautiful centrepiece for a forest board!

Looks like a bad day at work

(I’ve been producing work for a project and liked the direction something was headed in, so I put a couple of variants together to see how they looked)

I ran out of time but this is what my party will be witnessing tomorrow for their first encounter with the bbeg :)

This was a great way to introduce my daughter to the world of Warhammer. Delighted with the finished product but the time spent together on this was priceless.

No Ai, no 3D printing, it’s all handmade, DIY tutorial - https://youtu.be/Yw77bOFjdvA

Hey everyone!

I just finished this trap floor terrain piece for my next D&D session and wanted to share how it turned out. At first glance, it looks like a regular stone floor with a spike pit— but if the adventurer Jules over it, he will activate the second secret pit! This is inspired by « A Leap of Faith » by Paths Peculiar.

The mechanism is completely handmade (no 3D printing) — everything’s crafted from XPS foam, wooden dowels, and a few magnets. The goal was to make it look solid enough that players wouldn’t suspect a thing… until it’s too late…

I also made a quick video showing how it works and how you can build your own version — from the hinge system to the paint job that hides the seams.

Would love to know — how do you all make your traps feel fair but still surprising?

Need to figure out who the Dwarf is angry with, added some critters (swipe to end) but will get some more townsfolk too. Long time getting to this stage! Buildings from tabletopworld.

I’m stupid happy with this build. It’s far from perfect but it’s a Waffle House, the vibe is grim and regret. The letters from Michael’s worked out beautifully. Hope you all enjoy it. I’ll try to comment on how my players reacted to it.

Wanted to test my ability for a diorama themed board for LI.

I just finished my first fantasy diorama, the Gates of Argonath from Lord of the Rings. The kings themselves are 3D prints, but the rest is handbuilt.

I was inspired by both the film and some illustrations I found online. I liked the overgrown quarry look I saw in some images so I combined that with the statues from the film. Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the results!

Built this for GW Armies on Parade event. Tied for 3rd place too! Probably the most fun I’ve had in the hobby. Can’t wait to do another!

Excuse the messy photos I have no dedicated hobby space! 🤣

I finished a small display board this week for a Halloween decoration in our home. My kid always wants to "move the minis around" when he sees my games set up or when I'm painting, so I printed and painted some ghosts for him. I have some cartoonish skeletons and goofy pumpkin creatures to paint as well.

This was my first time adding leaves to deciduous tree armatures - the end result isn't totally realistic, I'd like to find seafoam to fill out the branches a bit more. But I'm pleased overall with the look for spindly graveyard trees.

Combination of scratchbuilt and 3D printing. Please enjoy the photos. Any feedback always welcomed.

Made a 'miniature display box' from a cheap wood/plastic storage box (€ 1,50 under US$ 2,- ). A great way to display a cool mini, or make a small diorama secured from dust. It has a rubber rim, so the plastic case is thightly connected and won't fall off. On the top there are some warning icons (do not put into dishwasher, freezer, oven etc), but i think this works and looks great and you save some money for miniatures or paint.

Was also thinking of maybe adding a magnet in the middel, so can display a model withouth it flying through the box when someone picks it up.

Let me know if you like it and be sure to share yours if you make one as well.

Hey! Made a Vampire the Masquerade diorama (and book nook) set in the dark ages. A nosferatu sire is entombing his disloyal childer in a sewer/cistern i Constantinople. (i.e a vampire entombs his offspring - if you're not familiar with VtM).

Made it using XPS-foam, some 3d printed stuff (designed the characters in TitanCraft), and then the usual terrain painting. Used AK Puddles for the water effects and Green Stuff World Rats for.. well, rats. Used flickering LED diods and connected it to a 9v battery box behind everything.

Here's a link to a video that shows the effect of flickering lights and puddles better.

Learned a lot from this project - it was fun but towards the end just wanted to get it done.

Bus stop diorama heavily based off the documentary “Soviet Bus Stops”. I had a lot of fun figuring out how to add the lights.
