Several folks were interested so I did a little tutorial on how to add a backdrop to your vehicle, figure or diorama.

Post any feedback, corrections or questions here.

Enjoy!

Those photos look great

It is amazing what one can do with the right computer software!

However, for those of us without a photoshop program, I've had much success using a paper background, with a landscape picture printed on it. When the photo is angled right and taken in either black-and-white or color (with the correct lighting), it is hard to tell the background picture apart from the rest of the diorama. The technique works best for up-close dios, however.

Those photo's look great! You nailed the "depth" with the foreground, subject and background. It really pulls you in.

You need to do a tutorial too tman..

Oh, and the software is free. Read the how to.
