Model/Photoshop sci fi dioramas

I love building conventional dioramas but one thing always bugged me, that model will be stuck in that one scene for the rest of it’s life. Plus, I just don’t have room for any more dioramas in my display case.

Solution: Photoshop Dioramas.

I’ve build some scratch/kitbash sci fi walkers, so I photographed them and found a background from google images and combined them to make a diorama of sorts. the best part is I can drop the model into several backgrounds instead of just one scene.

I’ll admit, you have to be as good at Photoshop as you do at modeling to make this work. The first photo is the end product after finding some images of fire and a missile being launched.

Here’s the model shot on my front stoop

Here’s the tan walker that is knocked out in the final

and below is the background I found on Google images

Below are few more examples with the tan walker as the main subject

Excellent work and a great idea!

Man, I wish I had P’shop skills like that. I love what you did there!

Is that Google image an actual photograph? It’s hard to tell on my monitor. Is it an actual shot of a bombed out street in Chechnya, or is it something unrelated?

Nice job!

The bombed out city street is a real photograph. Not sure where it is .

Nice work on the first image there!

Great photo presentation ideas. The models already look good but the imaging really tells a ‘war story’

Very good idea Scott
