WhiteClouds fabricated this physical diorama to depict a nuclear test site in North Korea. The broad terrain model includes waterways, roads, groups of structures, and changes in elevation.

Overall site view

Terrain and built features presented together

The model uses a long rectangular format to place multiple areas within one continuous landscape. Water, roads, open terrain, and clusters of buildings are distributed across the site.

Together, those visible features give the model its overall spatial organization while keeping each area connected to the wider site.

Physical detail

Physical detail across a large model footprint

The complete tabletop model contains varied terrain and building density while preserving the relationship of each area to the wider site.

Terrain, waterways, roads, and structures define the finished diorama.

Defining the scope of a site diorama

A site-model inquiry can begin with the geographic boundary, intended viewing distance, approximate footprint, source references, level of detail, labels, base or case requirements, destination, and deadline.

Only the information needed for the physical model and its intended presentation should be included in the fabrication brief.
