Joliezac's Displays/Dioramas: Finale! *Nov. 24th*

Here I would like to post my shelves where I have created dioramas for my animal collection to reside in. I found it a bit boring when I had all my figures just standing next to each other on a plain shelf, so I decided to make different nature displays so that it would be more pleasing to the eye. While these aren't the most accurate, and they are certainly crowded, I think it is a great improvement. Here are a few of my first shelves I set up around last year.

Here is my European shelf: I have the mountain species on the rocks and lower down in the "valley" would be species found at lower altitudes.

Next is my prehistoric mammals shelf:

Then last on this bookcase is my North American wild life: The rocks are the lower base of the Rocky Mountains and then down below is a stream and snowy forest.

From boxed figures, plain shelves or dioramas, surely this layout you're using is the most spectacular and animated. It looks everything wornderful to me, I especially like the rocky areas. From what you are unveiling, I suspect you have a fantastic collection.

Wonderful displays!!

very nice, although you do have strictly North American species on your European shelves ;-)

Really spectacular shelves and collection! I used to do something similar for mine but my shelves got too crowded and the figures themselves were more important than the scenery. But I really do miss this style of display for my own collection, yours reminds me why I loved it so much! Great displays again!

What a wonderful way to display your collection, you have done it beautifully and I love how realistic the scenery is! I've been thinking of doing something like this with my dogs for a long time and this is definitely very inspiring to see! I love how you have used a background behind the shelf too!

Thank you everyone for the feedback! Here is another: African watering hole

Really wonderful!

Fantastic diorama I like a lot

The materials and layout for the shelves of diorama are very creative, artistic and yet realistic shelves of diorama.
I have to thank you for the inspiration you brought to me.

Absolutely stunning once again!

Very nice, especially the last pic with the hyenas!

Really great display and collection again!

Nice collection :)

Here is my African savanna shelf:

Everything looks wonderful and it seems you can take the best from each brand. I think the ratel won't give any chance to that leopard.

Your display is so wonderful! Lots of things to look at and very eye catching. Great collection!

Nice again

Very crowded, nice, many masterpieces here. Tough I wonder what the African animals will tough of having a saiga and a king vulture in their troops

Very rich collection and wonderful dio-display that leaks even more the beautiful of models!

I sadly had to take down one of the bookshelves that had some displays on it due to us trying to move, so I thought I would share the images here that I took before dismantling. These were made a long time ago and were getting very crowded, so I wasn't too bummed to take them down. Plus I kind of shoved species with each other that don't really go together, but I thought it was better than them being in a box. Hopefully I can create some updated versions on a different bookcase soon as all these animals are now safely packed away in my closet. I hate not having figures displayed but hopefully that can change soon

Oceania: Animals native to this region are some of the most fascinating to me, its a shame Southlands isn't producing more figures, I would have loved to see some more unique Australian species! I never got their thylacine or marsupial lion before they disappeared from the site ughhhh   hopefully I'll find them someday. Anyways here it is! I tried to have the Outback with the red rocks and then I tried to do Tasmania/Tropical forests off to the right but it became a jumbled mess, oh well

Next up is my South American shelf. This one I really liked at the time because it was very colorful and overgrown. Got a little crowded in the past months but I still liked it. I really wish there was a good caiman figure, I had to use a Nile crocodile in the river which I thought looked much more dramatic (plus I had nowhere else to put him haha). I particularly liked the harpy eagle nest with the sloth dangling dangerously below.

Last on the bookshelf was Asia. This one was probably my least favorite, and I couldn't really see much of it since it was the top shelf. I definitely went overboard with the snow leopards but I love them too much to not include them   I did like the "bamboo forest" though. I would like to create a separate shelf for just Himalayan animals, I think that would be pretty cool especially since my friend is customizing a baby and female bharal for me to go with the male I purchased

I can post more images of my other shelves if you are interested, the ones I have left are smaller but I have more specific habitats. Left to be photographed I have:
-Everglades shelf
-Galapagos shelf
-Congo rainforest
-wolf shelf
-Penguins/Antarctica,
-Northern hemisphere polar animals (polar bears, foxes, seals, orcas)
-Coral reef
-Dinosaur shelf
-Sahara desert
-Andes mountains
-Monterey Bay Aquarium

I still have a ton of figures that are not on diorama displays due to lack of space, but most of my figures are on display in habitats  

Beautiful collection and dioramas! It's hard to make it better on shelves. Hard work but the result is rewarding. Congrats!

Watching on your dio-shelves is a wonderful way to begin the day!

Nice again

Wonderful photos, your displays are definitely among some of the best I've seen! It's clear to see how much care you've put into creating these backgrounds, so many different parts to them that come together to make a stunning scenery of models!
