Dragon Figurines

Creating a fairytale diorama can be fun and easy, especially when you populate it with fantasy miniatures. Because the settings and characters are limited only by your imagination.

The key to develop a truly awesome diorama is finding the right fantasy miniatures. The quality and detail of the figurines help take the diorama to a greater level. Brands like Safari LTD and Schleich figurines have a variety of fairytale characters including knights, elves, fairies, dinosaurs and dragon figurines.

If you can’t get delighted about a fairytale diorama with this cast of characters you should probably find something new to make.

With such a wide diversity of figurines to select from, the best place to start is with the concept for your diorama. Will it be an action scene: a knight fights a dragon to save a princess select from the dragon figurines. Or elves fight huge dinosaurs; or a landscape, where elves live peacefully with unicorns, or jesters perform for the royal family?

These are among the possibilities you can create using Safari and Schleich figurines. There are more than 50 fantasy miniatures in the Schleich knight’s series, more than 20 in the elf series, and plenty of animals and accessories like Dragon figurines to round out your fairytale diorama.

Will everything sets inside a shoe box, two shoeboxes, or even bigger than that? Will your diorama need to be parallel or vertical? If you’ll be deciding flying dragons from dragon figurines, for instance, a vertical format would work best to give you the height a dragon needs to fly. If you’re staging knights in a tournament, you’ll have several knights, horses, tents, and bystanders. This would work well in a horizontal format.

You can use colored construction paper to create background features like ground and sky, but will you also make things like houses and trees out of paper or use miniatures for them as well? You must keep in mind the colors in your miniature figurines when creating your backdrop: too much of the same color and they may blend into the background.

Now that you’ve done all the preparation work, collected your figurines, and made whatever parts and pieces you’re going to create yourself, it’s time to put your diorama together, and bring your fairytale to life. Like if suppose you have collected a dragon figurines and other parts and things you created yourself. That’s how easy it is to create fairytale diorama using fantasy miniatures with Safari or Schleich figurines like dragon figurines, bull figurine etc. With all the figurines there are choose from, you can create several dioramas, and move your miniatures from one to another.

Start with the backdrop, pasting your sky, ground, and middle-ground onto your box. Don’t forget the sides and top of the box: although you might not see them when you look directly into the diorama, from other viewpoints they will be noticeable.
