/diy/ - Do It Yourself

/toy/ here.
Out of curiosity, is there any money to be made from making scale models and dioramas?
I've been planning to do some stop motion with my collection but since I don't have a lot of room to do the "roaming the house" meme I thought of learning to make dioramas that could be disassembled and stored when not in use. I also don't have that much money so I thought I could try monetizing the skills I'd be getting from building these.

By the way, would making them in cardboard and styrofoam sheets work fine? Do I absolutely need an airbrush to paint them well or painting by hand is fine?
