One of my favorite things about modeling is seeing all the creative ways people expand upon their models, like through custom parts and dioramas. I've seen some really impressive Gunpla Dioramas and they're always so motivating and cool. Sometimes I just Google diorama pictures to get ideas for my own models and it always gets me really excited to start a new kit and plan a background. I'm a huge fan of water effects for one:
Seriously, how freaking cool is that?? The underwater view makes it ten times better too! And then there's the ones with LED lights (great for Christmas!):
Note the nice fire effects. And there's even a water effect in the pool, too. Another really nice kit and diorama combo.
This diorama really captures an action scene well. This looks just like a shot from a fight scene in the anime and really shows a lot of motion. Also check out the weathering on that building.
But my all time favorite Gundam Diorama in the world is still this one:

Absolutely everything about this is 100% amazing. It has it all. ALL of it! and a bag of chips! Look at all those paper craft boxes, those micro models, the car model with water effects of its own, and the Gundam RX-78 just chillin' out, making his models. It's surreal, intricate, and even hilarious. I remember being so disappointed when this diorama didn't win a prize because it's literally one of the best dioramas I have ever seen, Gunpla or otherwise.
