Vetenarian Miniature Diorama

Custom made Dioramas will include everything you see as part of the listing. Items will be crafted to closely resemble their real-life counterparts, using my skills to the fullest, with suitable substitutes where necessary. The size is dictated by the amount of space necessary to include everything we have discussed.

Materials

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

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

Items like metallic objects are made to look like metal, chrome, or copper with the use of 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 resemble it's counterpart in real life, please understand that the pieces are handmade and slight variations in the size, color and material should be expected.

Materials used are made to resemble the objects and a 100% match is just not possible.

Prices vary greatly depending on size, type of materials used and overall scope of the diorama being made.

In the day of Pinterest Pinboards, it is easy to get carried away with wanting to add more items to your scene.

Every new item not listed in the initial order form is considered an add-on and can only be added for a separate fee if there is space in the diorama.

Once you have approved the proof /outline major changes are not possible. However, small adjustments if possible can be requested.

If your diorama is a gift make sure to mention it and every effort will be made to get it ready by then. Delivery times will be discussed after a quote has been given. Please be aware that the more complex the build is the longer it might take to complete.

Understanding Dollhouse Scale: Choose the Right Size for Your Miniatures
Dollhouse miniatures come in different scales, which affect their size relative to real-life objects.

Here’s a quick guide to help you choose the right scale for your needs:

1:12 Scale (Most Common) – 1 inch = 1 foot in real life. Standard dollhouses and miniatures are typically in this scale. A 6-inch sofa in this scale represents a 6-foot real-life sofa.

1:24 Scale (Half Scale) – 1/2 inch = 1 foot in real life. Miniatures in this scale are half the size of 1:12 scale items. A 6-inch sofa in 1:12 scale would be only 3 inches in 1:24 scale.

1:6 Scale (Fashion Doll Scale) – 2 inches = 1 foot in real life. This scale is commonly used for fashion dolls like Barbie. A 6-inch sofa in 1:12 scale would be 12 inches in 1:6 scale.

Please check the scale of your dollhouse or figures before ordering to ensure the perfect fit! If you're unsure, feel free to ask.
