Help with a 1:6 scale diorama

[Kross]

What stuff can you use to make a 1:6 scale diorama?

 

[lieutenant dan]

It depends on what kind of diorama you're planning. Give us more of a Scooby.

Something like a grave yard

 

[Mr. EcKo]

Well unfortunately Halloween is over. Right after Halloween u can get like gravestones and other spooky stuff cheap. Try eBay

Cardboard? *Shrugs*

I'd love to learn to make my own dios, but some of the ones I have seem to use cardboard extensively

To mimic stone, styrofoam is always good, you can cover it in plaster of paris and make a tomb or tombstone for instance. I'm not very good at the detailed stuff like moss or dead leaves, but some of that stuff you can use scenic debris made for railroad modeling. You can also use the real thing, like find some real dead leaves and crumble them up to look like 1/6 scale leaves. To make a dead tree you can simply take some cool looking tree brances or twigs and glue them together.

I go along with the suggestions from intothevoid and ProgMatinee.
For fallen leaves, I bought a leaf shaped craft punch and used real leaves. Dry dirt/dust from the garden can be useful, sprinkled onto wet pva glue.
