Making a diorama
Chapter 8: Adding miniatures

I do not cover painting of the miniatures in this tutorial. If you would like a tutorial on miniature painting I am considering doing one. Send me an email!

The miniatures come with small spikes on the bottoms of their feet. You can make small holes in your landscape, apply glue then stick the spikes in the holes. Miniatures also come with flat bases that they stand on. You can simply stand the miniature on the scene and apply glue to the top of the base and sprinkle it with your green grass material. This causes the base to blend in with the diorama. If the miniature will be standing on a dirt part of the scene then apply the same dirt to the top of the base.

Now the miniatures have been placed on the scene! It looks great. Remember that you can
remove them and reposition them until you get an arrangement you like. Just repair any holes in the scenery
with a small dab of glue and a sprinkling of colored material.

Your diorama is complete. But if you want to add a light to the scene then continue on to the next chapter
