Microdio!

Exploring something new! While I’m experienced in working across various scales, I’ve created a dedicated focus on micro dioramas in 1:350 scale due to my extensive work in this area. These intricate creations often feature tanks, vehicles, and figures sourced from renowned French brands like L'Arsenal and Black Cat. The houses and ruins, however, are handcrafted using pieces of plastic.

You might assume these micro dioramas require less effort due to their size, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. They demand just as much precision and attention to detail as larger dioramas. In fact, their tiny, almost surgical scale can make them incredibly time-consuming to assemble. Some of these miniature masterpieces are so small they can even fit inside a matchbox!

On the diorama I use a number of jeeps. You have to see it to believe it but these mini cars have a steering wheel no bigger than half a millimeter. Unbelievable what can be printed with 3d technology.
