You can CLICK on ANY PHOTO above to see it Full Size. Sorry for the low res quality. These Classic NiubNiub era photos were taken way before high speed internet and today’s smart phones and HD cameras were available. But I thought still fun to see my history than not at all right ? 🙂 Use the side arrows to scroll through the photo gallery. X

This scene was part of my first phase dioramas, where I didn’t bother with movie accuracy as long as it fit on the 14″ deep wall shelves of my basement diorama room. Having never made dioramas before (apart from model kits as a kid) this technique using simple dollar store items and beginner techniques was a great way to slowly dip my toes into the Diorama hobby 🙂 X
Foamcore Shapes all hot glued together. Plaster bandages cover every inch of cardboard. When dried, 2 coats of plaster of paris are painted on, a 3rd is splattered to give texture. Very watered down latex paint is applied to dried plaster. Being over deluded, the plaster absorbs the paint and gives the building an old weathered look. Rubber cement glue is painted on floor and sawdust is sprinkled on top. Once dried, Vacuum excess sawdust. The Moisture Vaporators are home made from various toys and model parts painted white. X
