I don't know if there's a thread for this already, I apologize if there is.

I collect a lot of 6 inch figures, and I know that it can be hard to find dioramas for them.

Just chip in if you know of one that isn't common knowledge.
 
These are cool, I use them for photography

Here's my review

 
Those Star Walls imperial corridor pieces are great for Star Wars figures.


I also sometimes try to incorporate pieces from Diamond Select figures.

And a photo backdrop never hurts!

Here's my review




You know, I'm normally pretty against using cardboard, stuff but these aren't bad! I already have some existing Alleyway pieces from WWE and Gotham Select, maybe I will get these for the background and try to blend them together. Especially since I'm no good at making dios and I'm short on cash. I really like that fenced part. Thanks!!
 
there's a few Diorama sets released recently, i remember it's few Black Alleys, some roof top, and maybe some sci-fi/dark age/WWII sets.

but price ain't cheap, starting around $80, if you know abit of DIY it's quite easy to make.

Yeah it works well for me as after I'm done filming or photo's I can just put them away, standard dioramas take up a lot of room and are a pain to storage, glad you found it useful:)
 
I reviewed the alley set from Extreme:

And just used their latest subway set in the Punisher review:

And for fun, don't forget the Mi World sets!

Oh hell yeah, I was trying to find a review of the subway one.

I was going to get a MiWorld set for a long time, but then I realized I don't really have use for a Dairy Queen lol. If I ever had a restaurant dio, it would have to be like a moody diner.
 
I make my own dioramas for my 7" figures. I use mainly photos for backdrops and some ground effects and dollhouse laminated sheet flooring. The 1/10 scale furniture and accessories I get mostly from eBay.

Just received that table today Vector. It's great, many thanks for the tip-off. I've been wanting to set up that scene for years back when I was focusing on 1/6 but 1/10 will do nicely.

Your welcome man. :hi5:

Post some pics when you get it set up.
 
Just discovered these today by chance. They are from something called Underworld. I might pick up a few when I have extra money, I've been wanting some sewer-looking dioramas.

Did you get the Coke machine from ebay?

Yes, its actually a portable AM/FM radio from 1989 but it makes a perfect 1/10 scale Coke vending machine. Its very detailed and the radio controls are barely noticeable. You can still find new ones on eBay for a reasonable price.

Interesting. I never would have guessed! It looks great. I'll see if I can find one on ebay, but is there a specific title it has?

EDIT: I spoke too soon. Found it.
 
Buy a 3d printer and make your own creations. Using websites like 3D warehouse and Thingaverse you can print files for almost anything. Some files are lifesize, just divide the file by six and you have the proper scale

 
I prefer hunting pieces down, it's more fun.

Besides, I imagine 3D printers are not cheap.
