Diorama material suggestions?
Posted in
Custom WorkstationI have this pretty elaborate diorama/playset I'm constructing. It's design mostly follows the traditional in style of Kenner Star Wars playsets. When complete it'll stand around 4 1/2 feet tall so if possible, I'd like it to be rather lightweight. My plans also consist of LED lighting, small electronics, and possibly (but probably not) motorizations. The whole thing will ultimately be painted and whatnot.
The prototype I'm making is basic cardboard, and it looks pretty great for what I'm going for, but I'm trying to figure out other materials that would be good to use. I've seen people using the Pink insulation foam boards, cardstock, and other stuff but I'm wondering what cheap and sturdy materials you folks would suggest!
Please let me know your thoughts.

Please wait...
