This is my first big diorama, and I gotta say, I am pretty proud of it. Of course there are things I will do different when I make another, but I am happy with it, and so is my buddy I made it for. Anyway, foam background, foam board for the ground (covered in glue and sand and then painted.) I printed out the posters, lights came from bubble gum machine toys and the lights themselved are thise dollar store book clip reading lights, the rest is just fodder.
