The Ixia Diorama Districts Series offers a comprehensive set of standards defining the proportions and styles for creating paper dioramas. This series provides a versatile base for constructing miniature cities, natural landscapes, and more, with elements including buildings, vegetation, and equipment. While these elements are not exact replicas of real objects, they allow for the creation of impressive, stylized compositions.
