One of the things I most love using my GF for is miniatures! I recently read the novel Rabbits by Terry Miles (there are also podcasts in this universe) and felt inspired to create one of the scenes.
Cut on GF:
Frame - 1/8" baltic birch plywood
Walls - I cut the brick texture into 2mm EVA foam and backed the walls with medium chipboard
Window & Door - made of medium chipboard
Dumpster - made mainly of medium chipboard. Wheels are 1/16" ply
Meters/electrical boxes - mainly chipboard
Stoop and window sill - 1/4" EVA foam
First shots are the finished diorama and then some in process shots.
Oh my! If you haven’t shared these images with the author - OMG you should! Seeing people create worlds out of their words is incredibly powerful to every author I know.
No pictures. The story is set in Seattle, so I did use some reference images from alleys there. The book mentioned that the dumpster was missing a wheel, which is why it’s tilted slightly. The book also mentions that the alley floor is cobblestone. The image painted behind the dumpster and the words R U Playing in yellow paint are described in the book as well. A lot of the graffiti is made up of important names from the book. The band stickers are all from songs/artists mentioned in the book OR they are local Seattle bands. The coffee cup has a Herkimer Coffee logo on it (a Seattle coffee shop).
