A few people asked to see the diorama in daylight and get a closer look at the construction and landscaping. Here are some detailed shots of the house, bamboo forest, bamboo blinds, bridge and vegetation.

Most of the elements are handmade. If anyone is interested in how a particular part was made, feel free to ask.

Little Nightmares Diorama (and also a PC case)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'd like to present my custom PC case inspired by the game Little Nightmares, built entirely by hand. This diorama was part of the exhibition stand I showcased at FanCon, a pop culture festival held in Kyiv, Ukraine.

My goal was to capture the atmosphere and mood of the game as closely as possible, and I sincerely hope I managed to do it justice.

Due to the limited budget for the project, I had to reuse some components from my very first computer, which had been abandoned for many years. You may notice some of those older parts in a few of the photos.

The main idea behind this project was to combine the world of Little Nightmares with real PC hardware, creating a diorama that also functions as a fully operational computer case. This concept represents the core philosophy of my brand: taking any idea and transforming it into a unique project by merging computer hardware and handcrafted dioramas into a single piece with its own story and character.

I look forward to hearing your comments, feedback, and criticism.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work.

My newest diorama that I built. Inspired by the club scene in JW.... I scratch built this using xps foam. The candle holders were designed, printed and painted. The candles I made from real wax and then added programmable LEDs to give us the proper effect. Then the most challenging part was getting the red circle LED sign to hover infront of the wall. Brought everything together with beautiful blue LED accent lights.

Question What are the best brands of materials you use for 1:64 scale dioramas?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I hope you’re all doing well.

I’m planning to build a 1:64-scale diorama for my 1:64-scale cars. It’s been quite a while since I last made one, and I’d like to get back into the hobby—if you can call it that.

Honestly, I don’t remember which brands are considered the best for diorama-building materials. I’m planning to create city streets with a vibrant neon aesthetic. If you’ve played *Need for Speed Heat*, you’ll have a pretty good idea of the style I’m trying to recreate.

If you know of any high-quality brands or materials you’ve personally used, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Don’t forget to share them!

I have recently started to complete my first diorama and bought a bottle of epoxy resin for a small stream of water and i'm wondering if there's any diy epoxy resin colouring that works. My closest hobby shop that dosen't have a man grumpier than the grinch × 100 is a hoyr away with bike so any tips is appreciated!

Edit: as initiative20 told me it is not epoxy but thin pour. Sorry for the confusion
