Vladimir Demchenko shows off his diorama skills with this beautiful diorama. I took the liberty of adding a bit of black and white and sepia tone to a couple of his wonderful photoshop skills.

Enjoy

WOW! What more can be said than.... WOW! OMG WOW! :-)

I'm guessing paint work was all in acrylics?

Looks amazing. That dragon figure kit comes with no little details at all, you totally turned that around. If I may state some small critism though. Your road is perpendicular with your base. Your base, as well done as it is, next time you should give it somthing to look at. Give it a ditch or a crashed jeep, etc. It looks somewhat boring flat. This diorama otherwise, is one of the best ive seen and I cannot wait to see your next one!

Great work, Vladimir! Superb. And the Photoshopping makes it very realistic. Are those DML kits?

Niche one, Vladimir.
You should really write a story about the build-steps

Join the club :-) Always very inspiring. I love the fact that Vladimir can take Dragon and other brand figures, and take them to this level. The skills are there. Always a pleasure to see these dios. Good man Scott for posting!

This is a splendid diorama and the detail and depth is outstanding.
It was a pleasure working with this feature. I need to extend all the thanks and praise to ex-royal, used him as a conduit to get his work in the hands of an editor.
Hey - as long as it gets here to be posted, I'm happy to share the glory!!

I've already checked this out from the Home page link - I have to say this is absolutely outstanding work! The heading picture looks like an oil painting- the effects are superb. Make sure you all check out the others on Vladimirs profile, these are outstanding examples of figure painting also. I'm presuming they are all 1/35th. I like the B&W & sepia pictures too, very atmospheric! These figures make mine look like daubs, verily a standard to aim at!
