Lady Ferguson Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I've only been collecting for 11 months and I'm in the process of making a Diorama for less than that.The thing I've noticed lately when it comes to dioramas is that there's not as much interest in them as there was years ago. I'm basing this on reading through some of the dioramas that started here 5 or 6 years ago and when you read through the first few pages of them,the anticipation by the members here while waiting for the next update was clear to see in the posts. Nowadays it just seems to be all excitement about release dates of the next models That's just my opinion by the way,I could be totally wrong. I have to disagree on this one. I think the difference between now and 5 or 6 years ago is that there are now 20 plus dio topics to look at, whereas back then we only used to have half a dozen to keep us on the edge of our seats - and two of them had story lines that we had to follow! The challenge is to bring something new into your dios to keep people interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claaspower Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yes,I see your point I suppose the bar has definitely been raised in the last few years alright so now,not only is there a lot of work in a diorama nowadays,the story lines are just as hard ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
