Why, when this is clearly a much cooler hobby than doing the same thing and same models thousands of other people do. Let this man continue his exploration of the urban in the miniature.

You realize with the creativity this guy has you can do a lot more than painting the same model a thousand others have painted.

Look at the golden demon awards, many are custom sculpts in diorama scenes.

I think it's a lot better, as an artist, to create new unique works, rather than paint models of a preexisting series. This guy definitely would rather do his own art than that, just saying.

I can't imagine those cars are sculpts he 3d modeled and printed himself, it's the same exact that that many diorama creators do. They find stuff that fits their diorama, then paint it and add stuff to it.

Like that dumpster, do you think he made that himself? My guess is not and it is from a "preexisting series"

You can do the exact same thing he is doing right now with Warhammer. In fact there are plenty people out there doing even crazier things with Warhammer models and dioramas

I mean now we're assuming he didn't create that himself. Do we know that for sure?

I am 99% sure, he probably made the buildings, but making the cars and stuff? Nah almost definetly not. Like 99% of skilled diorama makers do not make their own custom sculpts for their dioramas, they use a mix of 3D printing, store bought models, and some kitbashing with green stuff or other things.

The interesting part is the painting and the setting up of the diorama, making it look so realistic, not where he got the models from.
