Build a three-dimensional side view of earth! And if there are caves and waterfalls you can’t go wrong! Follow along as I step you through the process I used to build this awesome diorama.

For those of you wondering, this model is built in HO scale, HO scale is the most common scale used for model railroading. Most of the scenery I build is specifically for model railroading which is why I tend to focus quite heavily on the scale when building these dioramas.
