Military Diorama
Annual English Course 2012 What is a Diorama? It is a scene that captures a moment in time. It displays multiple objects in miniature or life size with the purpose of interacting and presenting a situation. There are two main categories of dioramas: 1. Dioramas for fun or hobby. 2.
