    This document provides instructions for creating a diorama based on a video game scene. It outlines the necessary materials, which include various tools and foam boards. It describes selecting a scene from games listed or one's own creation. Photos of the scene are edited and printed onto foam boards to create layers representing different levels or parts of the scene. These foam board pieces are then glued together in layers within a picture frame to construct the 3D diorama representation of the selected game world. Tips are provided on techniques like printing to the correct size, using markers to hide edges, and ensuring symmetrical cuts.

    My Diorama

    Instruction
    Step 1 : Tools

    Cutter
    Scalpel
    Tweezers
    Glue Stick
    Pen
    Ruler
    Cutting board
    Foam rubber (Moosgummi: 2mm,20x30mm)
    Steropor

    The link for the foam rubber. You can find it in any craft store, normally
    http://rayher-hobby-shop.de/Bastelmaterial-1/Materialien/MoosgummiCrepla/Crepla-Platte-2-mm.html

    Step 2 : Picture Frame


    First, you have to buy the Picture frame. A frame with deep, a shadow box.
    I mostly use the RIBBA from IKEA.
    The size of the RIBBA is 230x230mm with a deep of 45mm. And without the
    frame, it is 215x215mm and a deep of 30mm.
    To get your picture into that picture frame, you have to size your screenshot
    to 215x215mm.
    During the whole process, place the picture into the picture frame to be sure
    you made no mistakes( for example: parts exceed the limit of the workspace
    of 215x215mm, or you build the diorama to high by using too much foam
    rubber for the layers. For the RIBBA, you have 30mm of deep space, that
    makes a maximum of 15 layers of foam rubber)

    Step 3 : Choose your Game-Scene


    You can make your own game dioramas or use my templates.
    If you want to make your own, here is a list with useful links

    Step 4 : Photo editing program Preparation


    To create the Game-Scene , you need a photo editing program. I prefer GIMP
    2.8
    Download Link : http://www.gimp.org/

    Watch on youtube the Gimp tutorials to get familiar with the layer-option.
    First, I size the background image of the game on size 215x215mm.
    Then I open a new layer in gimp with the character for example.
    And for every new part, character, open a new layer.

    Step 5 : Example
    In Gimp, I have prepared 3 pictures. 1 = Level, 2 = Green-area with threes
    and blue sky, 3 = Caracters
    I pasted the 3 pictures in a Word document size 297x420mm (A3) You need 2
    papers. One for the Level + caracters and the other for the Green-area with
    threes and blue sky

    Step 6 : Making the Diorama


    A Diorama with just Layers

    The Castle:
    First, make 2 copies on foam rubber of the whole castle and glue them together.
    ( just the foam rubber, not the picture on it)
    Now cut out the second castle level with the top-building in one piece. From this
    new pic, make again 2 copies on foam rubber and glue them together.
    Last, cut of the top-building from the second level and make just one copy on the
    foam rubber.
    The ground-wall has 2 levels two pieces of foam rubber. Same for the second
    part of the castle. The top-building has just 1 level.
    Now you have 3 pieces of foam rubber. Take the foam rubber part for the groundwall and paste the ground-wall paper piece on it and the foam rubber second
    castle piece. On this foam rubber, you paste first the second castle piece of paper
    and then the top building foam rubber part, and at the end, the top-building
    paper piece.
    Thats the way with the layers =) . For all the other areas, its the same procedure.
    First, make a copy of the whole part, then cut out the 1st level of it, etc
    Forrest-part with waterfall 2 levels
    Mountain-part with entrance 1 level
    The 3 next floors each 2 levels (6 levels)
    Castle ground 1 level
    Castle top 1 level
    ( with the ground level of the map, the
    whole picture has at this point the highest
    point with 12 foam rubbers)

    A Diorama with Columns

    If you choose a pic with columns, you have to stretch it a bit before printing the
    columns out. 20-30 mm.
    After turning the column a bit, turn the edges inside and paste a piece of cardboard
    or foam rubber inside like this picture

    A Diorama with Steropor


    Just use a normal cutter ( not the scalpel) to cut the steropor. And paint it
    with a black marker It looks better. I didnt used the marker for bubble
    bobble because of the white/lila stripes

    A Diorama with 3D-Room effect


    This type of Dioramas is a little bit harder. I hope you get behind with these
    pictures =)

    A Diorama with Blox


    very time-consuming .

    Step 7 : Tips
    If you have to turn a straight line of a part of the paper, just turn your scalpel
    , place the ruler where you want to make the turn and scratch slowly over it.
    Use this for the small blox if you make for example the Mario or bomberman
    level. Never turn it just with your hands. The blox are not getting
    symmetrical

    I never used liquid glue,


    just a lot of stick glue =)

    I printed the most of the pictures on paper size A3.Its297x420mm.If you can
    see, a normal paper has 210x297mm and my IKEA frames have an inside
    space of 215mm.
    When the printed pic is to dark, just change the brightness (for example
    +10% )
    I saved the image from the photo editing program and opened in a word
    document to print out
    You can use a text marker to paint over the edges of the paper parts you
    have cut out with the scalpel. It prevent the white edges and looks much

    better at the end. I made this after the tip of a friend who makes also
    dioramas =)
    So, thats it. Let me know if there are ambiguities (what a funny word *lol*
    google translate)
    I wish you good look.
    Wuppes
