I like adding backdrops and bases to frame photos of minis. I've had a few but, my old red sky was small and I wanted a space backdrop and an urban base.

The new backdrops were painted in dollar store canvases with cheap acrylics.

I made the urban base out of a dollar store wood frame and random bits in a bin.

The construction was pretty slapdash. This isn't diorama quality but just enough to make photos of minis feel less empty. Similarly, the paintjob is not flashy. I avoided the urge to add colorful points of interest to the base, to make sure focus stayed on the minis.

A few examples with combinations including new backdrops.

Terrain designed, printed and painted by me. I designed two different can variants one for 12 oz soda cans the other for Red Bull cans.

The models are free to download and 3d print. More information here: https://miniforall.com/cantower

You can get all of the models and code in one place on patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/can-tower-model-125909696

The source code to create your own can towers is available for free: https://github.com/medicationforall/cqindustry
