Lol, now I'm thinking you could have the man of the family sitting there mummified in his 'man cave' at the modeler's bench surrounded by his stash like treasure!

You're looking at a lot of work for that one.

You could also put someone or something in a dark area watching them, that you can't quite make out.

 

It remeinds me of a diorama I saw once of an explorer entering a tomb by rope from the ceiling.  The artifacts are similar to Egyptian with a few changes.  In the back, against a wall is a fighting machine with its cockpit opened and waiting for its operator.

In this case the builder used a Votoms machine.

this sounds intriguing ... The detail and scale involved would be mind blowing. Has anyone built this yet?

Looks like you would need to build what we used to call a shadow box.  Remember seeing the cool and awesome work of Shepherd Paine.

Tankerbuilder, it could be pulled off, with the use of unusual lighting and a lot of soot and ashes. Also,  I think drawing from post-apocalyptic elements that covey starkness, depletion, deprivation, shortages, and restrictions in man-made structures and the toll it takes on the human and other biological subjects can be conveyed. Like solar winds bending and searing things...you'll be going where no man has gone before!

I have seen many Mad Max types .

Many of us have . Now here's a different take .This is an idea . Nothing has been built , But someone other than I , may want to try it .

 Scene ;; An exploration group in 5515 is looking for anything that will tell them how the world was , you know houses , cars and just " family " life in 2010 . When one falls in a hole .

 Go to the front of the Diorama . In the dim light of an obviously man made cavern is a surprise so immense it will change the history books !

 Why , My goodness ! There is a whole house there , With an automobile in the yard ! Fade to the side of the dio .The garage is obviously a play room .There's two small mummies there . Children , about say six or seven .Then inside the kitchen there's two more .Obviously adults .There's dried substances on the plates in front of them and it's obviously their last meal .

 My gosh ! in the large room of the house are shelves full of Books . Real Books ! There's some kind of soft substances remaining on the floor .Wonder what that is ?

 Have to go now and hope the Reavers don't find this place .They will destroy it . We'd better let Pres. know about this . As they begin the climb into their vehicles  , one stops and looks heaven-ward and wonders out loud .  " Oh My , What could've possibly created this ? " " Was Some kind of Biologic or Chemical responsible ? "
