====== Displays and Dioramas =====

Rather than put completed models and figures into boxes, or line them up on shelves, I'm recently (2024+) trying to design displays or dioramas where they can be displayed to make best use of them. 

I've completed a small number of displays so far, though the actual figures and models that are due to go on them are also in various states of completion!
===== Dwarven Mines =====

[[blog:miniatures:rackham_dwarf_display|{{:blog:miniatures:displays:dwarf:img20240615152853.jpg?550|}}]]

[[blog:miniatures:rackham_dwarf_display|Dwarven mine scene]] - This displays all of my Rackham '[[:blog:miniatures:rackham:confrontation:tirnabor|Dwarves of Tir-Na-Bor]]' figures I have collected and painted.

===== Fantasy Ruins Scene =====

The [[blog:miniatures:griffins_display|Fantasy Ruins display]] is to display my Rackham '[[blog:miniatures:rackham:confrontation:griffins|Griffins]]' figures I have collected and painted. Not yet started, but will be a smaller, half-width scenery tile much like the [[blog:miniatures:ophidian_display|Fantasy Desert scene]].

===== Fantasy / Steampunk Sewer Display =====

[[blog:miniatures:dirz_display|{{:blog:miniatures:displays:dirz:img20250228151455.jpg?600|}}]] [[blog:miniatures:dirz_display|{{:blog:miniatures:displays:dirz:img20250228151522.jpg?600|}}]]

[[blog:miniatures:dirz_display|Dirz sewer scene]] - This display is essentially complete, minus the few remaining Rackham '[[blog:miniatures:rackham:confrontation:dirz|Scorpions of Dirz]]' figures I have collected and painted. The display itself is designed to be modular and re-configurable in layout.

=== Status ===

   * Scenery: **100%**
   * Alchemists of Dirz figures: **95%** (mostly complete, small amount of more recent figures to paint)
