Well done! I really like the first and second one!

Wow, these are your first dioramas? They're great My favorite is the second one.

Thanks! They are indeed my first but rest assured that more are coming!

Mammoths are awesome  .

Beautiful diorama the mammoth looking good  papo is one of the best figure for diorama model

[dreadmane]

Thank you! Indeed Papo models belong to my favorites and are perfect for closeups. I have big plans for the Rebor line .

[Dinomike]

Frozen Mammoth

Hunting Liopleirodon

The Liop is sweet!

Did you actually freeze your mammoth? lol  I remember doing that as a kid to some dinos...part of a scenario in my head where they frozen and then thawed out and came alive again to terrorize my brother's G.I. Joes.. lol

[Arul]

Great photo  rebor is great for diorama, especially the trex. That tarbosaurus, is that from green running trex papo ?

Thanks Blade! Yes I did! It was the best way to icy effect, obviously

Diggin' the frozen mammoth! 

[Pachyrhinosaurus]

Very nice! I also like the frozen mammoth-- I saw a kit in a department store like that once, where it came with toy prehistoric mammals and ice molds. I also like the liopleurodon. How did you get that effect?

Thanks Tyto!

Thanks for the compliments Pachy and Iam glad you asked. The Liopleurodon photo was shot with a Canon macro lens to get a narrow depth of field. For the background I used an photo I have taken off some water in motion. To get the model "floating" i used a clamp on one of its fins that are out of frame to get the pose I wanted. I added some blur effect (in Aperture 3) around the Lios face to get the illusion of beeing under water. Finally the light effect on the face was achieved by using a small LED torchlight to shine trough a glass of water to get the stripes of light.

Thanks, that's a very good idea to use a glass of water. I've tried lots of different methods and haven't come close to this. Thanks for sharing.
