Style Backdrop Diorama

This order is for a Christmas-themed backdrop Diorama loosely based on the sketch. Please refer to the attached image for an itemized list of what the diorama will include.

Backdrop Diorama

A miniature piece on a platform flanked by one wall is called a "backdrop diorama." These are often used to display small-scale scenes with one defined vertical backdrop to set the scene while leaving the rest open for viewing. A backdrop diorama, unlike an enclosed shadow box, allows the chaise to be positioned at an angle, creating a more dynamic arrangement and giving the scene a sense of openness and breathing room.

The payment is for the diorama only and shipping will be billed separately whenever the project is completed.

💡 The Process:

1️⃣ Consultation: Share your ideas, preferences, and vision for your dream miniature scene via the Contact Form. I recommend you measure the available display area and let me know if you prefer a shadow box, diorama or room box. Depending on your needs I will let you know if any items have to be outsourced and if any additional charges will apply to the base price listed here.

2️⃣ Design Phase: I will work closely with you to translate your vision into a detailed project plan. You'll have the opportunity to review and refine the concept until it's perfect. Once the initial concept is approved only minor tweaks can be made.

3️⃣ Crafting Excellence: Once the design is approved, you will be asked to pay the full amount, so I can start to order the supplies needed for your project. Add-ons that were not part of the initial quote will be charged separately.

I will meticulously craft your miniature room box or diorama, using only the finest materials to ensure longevity and beauty.

4️⃣ Delivery: Your miniature masterpiece will be carefully packaged and delivered to your doorstep, ready to be displayed and admired. Shipping charges are payable once the project is completed and can be weighted.

When you submit your payment you also automatically agree to the terms outlined.

MATERIALS USED

Various materials are used to achieve the closest match for the item(s) being made.

Wood, resin, PLA, cardstock, printed designs, fabric, beads, and more are used.

Items like metallic objects are made to look like metal, chrome, or copper using paint and aging techniques. No actual metals are used.

Pottery items are either made with a 3D printer and painted or made of modeling clays.

As every item is made to resemble its counterpart in real life, please understand that the pieces are handmade, and slight variations in the size, color, and material should be expected.
