Everything you need to get started with Dioramas and miniatures

This list was created to help you get started with Dioramas. Everything you need in order to start out, practice and learn the craft. 

Finding out the materials and tools you need can be daunting without someone to help you get started, so clone this list if you want to check each of the items you have already purchased or could find around the house, and this can be your perfect shopping list. Feel free to watch the full video here.

I have categorized the item based on the main function, and have assessed whether or not each item is essential, helpful or not necessary.
