Mini Spacemen – Lost in Space Diorama
This is the last of my mini spacemen dioramas. This one is a spaceman in his element – lost in space! I am still working on improving at painting metallics and this spaceship was the perfect practice using holomatic chrome by Alclad.
I fell in love with these mini spacemen when I saw them on Instagram on Roman Lappart’s page. At just 15mm high, they are part of the Massive Voodoo Challenge 2020. You just need to create a diorama with a mini spaceman on it. The spacemen are resin casts from Mr Lee’s Minis. I bought a set of 3 and started planning. I came up with 3 dioramas and this is the last one. The first one was a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and the second a desert diorama.

Box picture frame – I get mine from Hobbycraft generally

You will need a 12v power supply for LEDs and I also added a socket to plug into https://amzn.to/36SUR6x
