Discover the Magic of Custom-Made Shadow Boxes and Miniature Dioramas! 

I invite you to step into a world of miniature wonder where imagination knows no bounds. Introducing the exquisite Custom-Made Shadow Boxes, Miniature Dioramas, and Room boxes, available in both 1/24 and 1/12 scale, crafted to perfection, and designed to be cherished for generations to come

🖼️ Here are some differences between shadow boxes, dioramas and room boxes for miniatures:
  • Shadow Boxes 
These frames are deeper than regular frames and can accommodate a variety of objects, from small trinkets to larger items. They can be mounted on the wall or displayed on a table and are viewed from the front. Shadow boxes have a depth of at least 1/2 " up to 5 ", which creates a “shadow” effect. The miniature box has a permanent glass covering and includes a mounting hook.

  • Backdrop Diorama
A miniature piece housed on a platform flanked by one wall is commonly referred to as a "backdrop diorama." These are often used to display small-scale scenes with one defined vertical backdrop to set the scene while leaving the rest open for viewing. A backdrop diorama, unlike an enclosed shadow box, allows the chaise to be positioned at an angle, creating a more dynamic arrangement and giving the scene a sense of openness and breathing room.
  • Dioramas
Dioramas offer more flexibility in size and the types and number of objects you can include. Dioramas are better suited for creating a specific scene or narrative. Dioramas are 3D and can be viewed from all sides. They can stand up by themselves and range in size. Plexiglass covering has to be ordered separately.
  • Room boxes
These boxes can be built to any scale and are often used to house a scene that is mainly viewed from the front. They are much deeper than shadow boxes and usually show one complete room. They are usually made to fit on a shelf or to be placed on a larger surface. Box comes with a removable plexiglass front.

 

Difference in Scales:


1/24 Scale - also known as 1/2 inch scale, means that a unit of measurement on the model is 24 times larger than the actual object
1/12 Scale - In this scale, one inch on the model is equal to 12 inches on the original object.
1/6 Scale -  is a scale where one inch is equal to six inches in full size. It is also known as the "Playscale" or "Fashion Doll" (Barbie) scale. Quotes are given seperatly.
 
💡 The Process:

1️⃣ Consultation: Share your ideas, preferences, and vision for your dream miniature scene via the Contact Form. I recommend you measure the available display area and let me know if you prefer a shadow box, diorama or room box. Depending on your needs I will let you know if any items have to be outsourced and if any additional charges will apply to the base price listed here. 

2️⃣ Design Phase: I will work closely with you to translate your vision into a detailed project plan. You'll have the opportunity to review and refine the concept until it's perfect. Once the initial concept is approved only minor tweaks can be made.

3️⃣ Crafting Excellence: Once the design is approved, you will be asked to pay the full amount, so I can start to order the supplies needed for your project. Add-ons that were not part of the initial quote will be charged separately.

I will meticulously craft your miniature room box or diorama, using only the finest materials to ensure longevity and beauty.

4️⃣ Delivery: Your miniature masterpiece will be carefully packaged and delivered to your doorstep, ready to be displayed and admired. Shipping charges are payable once the project is completed and can be weighted.

When you submit your payment you also automatically agree to the terms outlined. 


 MATERIALS USED

Various materials are used to achieve the closest match for the item(s) being made.

Wood, resin, PLA, cardstock, printed designs, fabric, beads, and more are used.

Items like metallic objects are made to look like metal, chrome, or copper using paint and aging techniques. No actual metals are used.

Pottery items are either made with a 3D printer and painted or made of modeling clays.

As every item is made to resemble its counterpart in real life, please understand that the pieces are handmade, and slight variations in the size, color, and material should be expected.

Materials used are made to resemble the objects and a 100% match is impossible.

Shipping

The shipping quoted is based on USPS with tracking. Once I know the project's scope, size, and shipping address  I can quote you the approximate shipping rate for your order after the consultation. 

Refunds

Once you agree to proceed with the project the custom order becomes non-refundable or exchangeable. If the item arrives damaged during transit a refund will be requested from the mail carrier and a replacement will be made for you.
