Deere-est Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Well, a few ideas I am messing with at the moment. I have a set of shelves which I want to display my models on but in a slightly different way. Obviously the space is limited being on a shelf but I still want some depth to the way my models are displayed. Here are a couple of backgrounds I have mocked a bit quick to give myself an idea on how to do a few things. It also makes for a nice backdrop for when I get around to photographing my collections. A quick play around with the basics, no guttering or anything like that yet and this is just propped up on the bedroom floor! Did realise the photos had come out quite so grainy so forgive me on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Palmer Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 the last image tris,if thats a shelve, you certainly have got the illusion of depth there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justy 46 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Ohh lad. Love those DBP Ford models. Good backround for a shelf diorma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Just the bedroom floor for now, Paul. Have a few more things coming from Mandy and some more ideas to get to the 'made' stage and I may get somewhere! Thanks for the compliments gents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johny mf Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 If you look at the last picture it almost looks real! Good start already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks Johnny I had some very nice gates arrive in the post this morning so they will be fitted onto a small board and made ready for the shelf soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas b Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Love the Idea , i think it will turn out Perfect ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richie Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Definately a good idea Deer-est. A background does make all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 This is a brilliant idea, Tris - ideal for those of use with limited space and/or budgets. The model truck fraternity use shelf dioramas a lot already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Got the sky backgrounds today - Superb! Getting all the bits together bit by bit. Hope to make a proper start over the next week or two. Still got a gert shed to build for Tim too Thanks for the feedback Lady and gents :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Ferguson Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 The sky background works well doesn't it....... and soooooooooooo reasonable to buy (just £1.49 a sheet!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas b Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I think it looks good and a reasonable price to! Good job Tris keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordTractorCrazy Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 sleek Mandy great idea.. knowing your diorama skills, this will look just perfect.. got a few dozen shelfs here that could do with some touching up.. but as it is all glass, which is quite necessary to keep some light falling on the shelves below, i regretfully can't. But i would guess this could also serve as a sort of travel diorama for display purposes at shows... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
