[@DrakenGuardz]

Awesome work! How did you get all the furniture items and especially the miniature boxed figures?

[@NerdyBuilds]

Thanks so much!! Since I was working with 1/4, I used the furniture from the Our Generation toy line at Target. I customized the paint job. And for the mini figures and stuff, I used world's smallest items. They are my absolute fave!!

[@princessindigo]

That's dope, the size is perfection! I'm so excited about creating a diorama for the first time but I haven't even started getting supplies for it. I think I'm capable of executing the look but I've never tried a lot of the techniques I'm researching, like a river and pine trees, if you check it out you'll see how dope they look. Quick question, what is the height and width of your diorama in this video? I'm trying to visualize what I need to create. Thanks!

[@NerdyBuilds]

Hey there! I'm so sorry for taking so long to reply! Unfortunately I have to take down the diorama for moving. But I still have the pieces and can measure if you're still interested

[@sweet_sukeban4022]

My question is how did you calculate the scale relative to the figures? Ive been trying to make my own diorama in 1:3 but i cant figure out how to get the dimensions

[@NerdyBuilds]

One of the things that I often do is look up the real world dimensions of an item and then just do the math to convert it to whatever scale I'm looking for. Most of the items that I've purchased for this video were 1/3 scale because they were made for a particular doll sold at Target. So I would say if you're buying items just try to find stuff that you can hold next to whatever diorama or figure and if it looks like it matches close enough then go for it. And then for the walls and stuff I just kind of based it on looks. If the wall look tall enough for him to stand next to then I was fine with it

[@dqvidrestrepo3952]

What kind of foam is used? Where can you find it?

[@NerdyBuilds]

I used XPS foam. You can find it at either Lowe's or Home Depot. The Lowe's brand is green and the Home Depot brand is pink.
