"Articles/diorama on Celtic origins of Halloween" Topic

I collected some neat articles about the ancient history of Halloween and I made a tiny diorama with 28mm minis:

Not to be a sourpuss or rain on anyone's parade, but is it really a diorama if figures are just placed on top of terrain (ie. not integral part of the terrain etc)?

I get what you're saying. That's why I called it a "tiny diorama". What else could you call a scene like this? I'm all for being precise, but I didn't know of any other short words that conveyed a better meaning.

Enjoyed the links and the mini-dio.

I like it, thanks for the post and yes, it's a diorama. Check out #1:

isn't actually a diorama at all because it doesn't have a background.

(Sorry Tango, not meaning to point any fingers here. Just trying to explain the true definition).

Why not call it a scenic picture?

I like the arrangement of miniatures and the background is a good fit. What you can do to make the seam disappear is to either place a hill in the background or slightly elevate the ground (if it is a mat.

Seem to be a few definitions of the word, link , including '1. a miniature, three-dimensional scene, often depicting a historical event.', en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diorama 'The current, popular understanding of the term "diorama" denotes a partially three-dimensional, full-size replica or scale model of a landscape typically showing historical events, nature scenes or cityscapes, for purposes of education or entertainment.'

Basically, a diarama can simply be a model or models on a base.

Why not stick to the original subject instead of nit picking and whining. By the way, nice diorama. Keep up the good work.
