From time to time I have dioramas that I have made and are for sale and also just for show. This is where you'll find them.

Typically my dioramas are made with a combination of commercially available scenery materials as well as many that I find out in the field. Amongst my favorite naturally occurring materials, I like sagebrush, and also the roots from stumps I find washed up on the beach. For a fall scene, nothing satisfies like true dried fall leaves. I'll run them through a coffee grinder and sift out the powder from the scale "leaves". Hey, I'm rambling. Here we go:

7/19/21: Recently Added Gift Mini-Dioramas

Tree #1: "On Rootwood Pond"

It's a goofy name, but how else would you describe how this tree mounted on a mesquite "cliff" overlooks a wooden (also mesquite) "pond"? A pretty neat tabletop art sculpture or a super cool paper weight. This tree has high-level root detail and intricate foliage & branch structure. A very unique gift idea.

Tree #6 "Selfie"

This is pretty much a self-portrait of me in the morning trying to wake up and figure out what I need to do. Couldn't that be said for many of us? This would make a nice gift or sit well in a coffee shop.

Tree #8: "Spindly"

Also with a mug in hand branded with a squirrel, this one compliments the taller, straighter tree. A pretty neat tabletop art sculpture or a super cool paper weight. This tree has high-level root detail and intricate foliage & branch structure. A very unique gift idea.

Horse and Rider Mini Dio:

I find the Preiser figures of the highest quality, and from those in each package I have chosen the best for this Horse and Rider scene.  Just imagine flying along on a fast trot, headed to your favorite wooded paradise! This mini diorama measuring 10" x 6" can do just that.  The tree and stump are from real Port Orford cedar. The base is of Douglas fir and has a natural finish.  This would make a perfect gift. Here's a few more photos (click to enlarge).

Horse & Rider Mini Dio (L0075)

This scene features the Preiser horse and rider figures in HO scale, running under a Coastmans premium 9" tree, with a bounty of other scenic details. Base is carved from Oregon Myrtlewood.10"x3" Ships with the tree dismounted - must place tree on the base.

Custom Diorama per Customer Specs:

This was a super-fun to make diorama with a simple foam base and some trees that I thought came out really great. It's about a 12 x 14 inch footprint with the tallest tree at about 16 inches.  It's just waiting for some animals to come and hang out in the protective canopy of this small forest! Look closely and you'll see someone hiding. (click to enlarge photos).
