1st Attempt
I have not had allot of experience when it comes to setting up stages for models. But I wanted somewhere to put my model head that had taken allot of time and effort to make and look as good as I could.















I started off by just adding some squares to the background so that it gave the impression my head was in a room, I also added a wooden table just to add some close texture and not have the head and stand float in thin air.

I liked the idea of the table as it worked well, but felt the background was missing something and I did not want to spend time making the background as it would take the viewers eye away from the piece itself.

The Dome Idea














I started to look online for the best ways to construct a housing for a model, what type professionals use to show off there models. Most of them were domed shaped, this was so when lights were added the light would reflect of all the areas and create a more vibrant realistic and generally better looking model.

I decided to use a curved dome that was flat on the bottom and then curved over (giving the model a housing above) this will also make my life allot easier when it came to adding lights.

Conclusion

I know the backdrop looks very boring but as mentioned I did not want to take anything away from the model itself, this dome shape will help the model look better and as the viewer will never see the full scale it does not matter how it looks.
