Concept art for a custom cardboard backdrop that will be made to perfectly suit the diorama bases:

This is prime example where Dave's new rule of having a premium membership will come into play

Thank you Mr. EcKo!

Read about this plans and it seems like a logic step to me. It's a great and giant board, a great place to communicate ideas.
If the guys behind it benefit from that, it's only fair. Just curious and open to how this will turn out. Hope the moderators will benefit from such a new rule as well.
 
Loving the backdrop. Will you guys be offering custom sizes? I know Brian spoke of this in his original thread saying it can be customized to whatever size suited but just want to confirm since you guys are working together on it. Would be interested if it can somehow be cut down to fit in a detolf with a backdrop.
 
Very nice, Movie Based. Like that the backdrop is somewhat impressionistic as opposed to being photo realistic. Looks much better that way, IMO (photo realistic tends to look kinda cheap, for some reason). Not a Nolan collector but that's a really nice set.

Can you comment on what else you're thinking of doing in future and out of curiosity, do you take commissions? Thanks!
 
Thank you all! Yes, we will be offering custom sizes as planned before. You can find some basic specs here already: https://www.moviebased.com/products/
There will also be 3 fixed sizes offered to choose from as well.

We just added his early concept for the version suitable to perfecly fit into detolf cabinets:

This will probably also get a suitable backdrop.
It's still his project, we joined forces so that he can concentrate on the planning and building.
You know we all have fulltime jobs, so doing custom things like this can only stay fun if you don't have to organize everything by yourself.

The idea is to have truly handmade custom masterpieces for you, offered in a professional way to give you the best support possible with an invoice, warranty and direct support to have happy customers.

Great you like the backdrop concept! It's currently in the progress by a really skilled painter who also joined our team. You will see a lot more of his work soon.

To Invictus Sol: That's exactly the point. Though the final backdrop will be painted more detailed than the concept art shown, it's a completely different world compared to a photo.
We made several tests and a photo simply doesn't really match a valuable appearance of the diorama and figures.
A backdrop usually needs some tricks and illusions to complete but not to disturb the scene, painting gives a lot of possibilities for that.

We have many ideas planned but we didn't decide what to start next after these dioramas but we will keep you updated. You can also join our newsletter if you like: https://www.moviebased.com/newsletter/ and yes, we will accept commissions, if the project matches the things we offer, please send us a pm if you like!

This is a new picture of the miniature manhole cover with almost final finish:

(please find the more recent picture in the next post)

These actually only have to be added to the bases now and some small details have to be finished, so as announced more updates are on the way!

Just replaced the previous manhole cover picture with this one as it's more recent.
Will also add this to the first post.
