I´m a big fan of Per Olav Lund´s work. He´s a very good craftsman and his dioramas usually got a real nice atmosphere or "mood" to them. Here´s some pics:







I also like the work of Chuck Doan. Though I´m not sure if would be classified as a model builder, because he probably got some sort of shrinking machine hidden in his house Check out how realistic his work looks:

There are so many nice dioramas to pick only one that's best. But this one is one of those that should be on the list (IMO).



The dio is inspired by Ramiro Bujeiro artwork from Osprey title.

I think Marijn van Gils cannot be out of this list. His older works have always been a great inspiration for me and his newer works are simply stunning allthough smaller then for instance:

Godverdomme

Last Round

There is another one called Santa is coming to town but I can't find any good pics of that one.

Do a Google Search on marijn van Gils and you will get a load of his more recent and awesome figure projects
