KATHY MILLATT IS THE EXCELLENT DIORAMA BUILDER, THE TOP ONE!!!!!!!!!!

I grew up in a small American town that looked exactly like this diorama (Arkansas City, Kansas, if you're curious). I immediately got a little homesick looking at it because the downtown area looks just like this diorama to this day. You nailed the look of classic 50's Americana buildings, and your rain effects were extremely convincing!

Those gloss effects look amazing 👏. It photographed well. A little digital enhancement on a great base isn't cheating, movies and TV do it all the time.

Kathy, for a rain effect in dioramas my simple method has been to frame the project in thin clear plastic walls. Then any combination of using small drops of glue or even mildly scarring the inside surface works great. My technique was to make sure I did it all in the same direction for realism. This method also works really well for snow. If there's enough room on the project for multiple walls, adding them will enhance the visual appeal. This was a lesson learned from a Fargo diorama I did. (From the film Fargo.) It looks like this project turned out really well. Thanks for the post.

I've used this product to attach headlights in plastic models as well as windshields. It dries clear and has all the potent qualities of it's regular plastic cement. Now I'm restoring Lionel trains from the '50's and using it to install windows! Thanks again for a great project!!!!!!

Hi to Australia! Glad you enjoyed it!

a friend of mine did a rain diorama of a close up sculpture of Batman when he was a kid, he built an acrylic box to go around it and spent a week super gluing fishing line to the top of the box and then draping it down against the model, cutting the strings to length and gluing them where they needed to be glued before he fixed the last two sides of the box - took him forever, he said he would never do it again, but it was AMAZING

actually the photoshot rains good idea also for stop motion animation since 1 will be taking still TY kathy for that idea was thinking how can one create Rain in stop motion.

I think you achieved the effect you were trying for. What really helps is the man with the umbrella that gives the impression of stormy weather. I watched this to learn the rain effects but I was impressed with how much more I learned about then just making rain like assembling a Hydrocal building, making a tar paper roof and a great deal more. This was just an all round excellent tutorial. Thank you for making and sharing this.

Wow! Well done. As for rain and snow in the air for a diorama? I took thin sheets of plexiglass to make four clear walls. On one side that would be the inside. I took masking tape to mask a protected area at a slight angle. Next I used very fine sandpaper to scratch lines lightly into the plexiglass the same angle as the tape. I tried to keep the scratches as straight as I could. I matched the angle all the way around in a way that when looking through the plexiglass that the rain was moving in the same direction. I then removed the tape and repeated what I did before. This gave me different densities when you looked through the plexiglass. I wish I could show you how it came out. But it was some time ago and I am no longer in touch with my client. If I were to maybe improve on it the next time? Maybe try this technique on both sides of the plexiglass to see if it is raining harder. Oh and on down spouts, and off of roofs? I used clear packing tape dipped in clear silicon rubber to show water rushing out of them. or off of them. Good job. Love your work. You help make me be a better modeler.
