I have divided my diorama into 4 different sections for the texture layout to be able to optimise the quality I cant get from them.
I divided it so the building, wall and lamp post were on one sheet. The base on one its own, the wood and broken brick on one of its own. And finally all the base debris on its own map.
I originally had them as 1024x1024 maps to be able to get in all the final detail but once I was done I scaled it down to 512x512 so they would all add up to one 1024x1024 map.
for all the textures used in the Diorama I gathered them myself by going out and taking the pictures. I was fortunate in the fact that all the textures I needed were down my street so I didn't have to venture far to find them.
With the majority of the textures I would take them into Photoshop and then manipulate it to fit the UV layout, then I would would change the brightness, saturations and colour levels until looks well.
During this week I went back and edited my Diorama as I was told it was too large and having the wall on the other side stopped the vehicle being seen from all sides. So I made the base much smaller, got rid of the planes along the top and moved the wall and post to the same side as the building. I feel this does work much better as it puts more emphasis on the vehicle.
