Nicely done. Said before, you are exceptionally talented. Keep ém coming :)
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

Hi folks,
How to create a fun, quick & simple diorama, in 4 easy steps.

Step 1:

Take a couple of shirts, piece of cardboard, Velco (removed from an old army jacket), Figure stand Jeep & a couple of figures.

Step 2:

With the above items, make a mess on the floor.

Step 3:

Carefully pose (play) with your toys to create a nice composition then take your camera & shoot loads of pictures (I usually take between 10 & 50), @ every possible angle until you end up with something you find pleasing to the eye.

Step 4:

Now take the raw photo & mess around with it using a photo editing programme of your choice, I use Windows Live Photo Gallery & Flickr's 'Avery' (both free), & (optional) add a boarder.

Really looks like sandy terrain!
I always have that kind of mess in my room and never noticed I had a potential diorama
