Modular Diorama for Miniatures (MoDMi)
thingiverse
The Modular Diorama for Miniatures (MoDMi) provides a compact system for taking consistent photographs of 28mm figures with a variety of backdrops and facades. The nine 1mm holes in the top plate allow the selective placement of electric tea lights for a variety of lighting effects. The backdrop is created using a Lithophane creation site (http://3dp.rocks/lithophane/); see the . The front facades are created by scaling various models found on thingiverse.com to an 85mm width and/or a 75mm height. The facade model is then glued to the Facade_base. (I used Angel Archway (based on OpenForge) by jpacek and OpenForge Stone Gatehouse by devonjones for the photos.) The circular platform is a disc 69mm in diameter and 5mm in height. (I used OpenForge 2.0 Magic Circle: Astral by devonjones for the photos.) I recommend gluing wax paper to the bottom of the disc and into the circular depression of the base plate to allow smooth rotation of the disc. This allows effortless rotation of the miniature to photograph each side of the miniature. For those who desire a well designed cellphone platform for stable photos, I highly recommend the Smartphone Photo Studio for #3DBenchy and tiny stuff by CreativeTools. I glued the support plate to the top of the blank fixture insert and it works great for me.
