THE RIPPER FIGURE
My idea for a Jack the Ripper diorama came from the Sideshow Toys "London After Midnight" figure.  I thought from the back that it looked a lot like the Ripper might have looked.  I removed the "bat wings" from the figure's coat, cut his hair shorter, and added some black socks to cover his bare ankles that were showing.  His black Doctor's bag cames from a Barbie set and he has a knife from the Sideshow Toys "Custer” figure.

THE VICTIM FIGURE
The victim is an Ultimate Soldier WACC.  I kept her stockings and added female short boots from the Old Joe Infirmary.  The clothes and hair are from Barbie's "My Fair Lady--Flower Girl".

THE BACKGROUND
Believe it or not, the scenery is made from regular brown cardboard box!  My original intent was to just use the cardboard to make a rough idea of what I wanted, so I could see what it might look like.  But the more I worked on it, the better it began to look.  I painted the cardboard with water-based acrylic craft paints, and drew the bricks in with a soft pencil, using a ruler.  I got the posters from the Internet and printed them on a color printer.  The "Mitre Square" sign also came from the Internet, but I changed the street name using a font from a word processing program and then printed it on the printer.  The sewer pipe is regular brass tubing from a hobby store painted gloss black.
