I was thinking ton the same lines. ... it's the 4th anniversary since "The Event" and when we lost Алексе́й (Alexei). "I still visit his final resting place in honour of our fallen comrade."
The bit where you discovered that the resin had flooded the entire surface, and then just launched right back into how to create terrain without skipping a beat was absolutely hilarious. Love the finished look!
I've been watching your channel for a long time. This is the best diorama you ever made. Having hundreds of hours in the stalker series and its source material this diorama has a special place in my heart.
I have no words. Why did I watch this video in one go? David, your masterpieces makes me happy every time and inspires me to try what you do. Not only in modeling, but also in video editing, selection of music and effects. My sincere congratulations on completing this long project. I can imagine how a mountain has fallen from your shoulders and release you for new project or bicycle trips. All the best Nik from Riga, LV
Your attention to detail is phenomenal. The oil, the grass. I've been out in the field with US Army helicopters and this brings back memories. Thankfully non involved a class A mishap, but still. Speaking of which, would you ever do another diorama of helicopters in the field? I can send some personal photos if it would help.
Fantastic work, wow! This was originally a rescuemission extracting civillians from a contaminated area years ago after a radioactive chemical spill. On the last run, the chopper crashed killing all but the pilot who was able to get away. He raised a family elsewhere in the end. The events and memories of his fallen crewmates never left him though. The stalker took his father, who was the pilot, back to crashsite to be buried there with his crewmates. It was his dying wish…
With the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 I thought I'd rewatch the whole thing, and it captures the postapocalyptic vibe so well. Really nicely done. The night-light luminescence of the radioactive waste in the water is such a cool and crazy little detail to add!
STALKER - Shadow of Chernobyl is one of my favorite video games. You've captured the grim grittiness of that series brilliantly in this diorama! Magnificent! "Cheeki Breeki!"
I like how even that failure of the resin spreading everywhere didn't put Plasmo off, excellent work. I know if it were me, I would either have despaired, become depressed over it or just got angry and shelved the whole thing, never to see light again!
When I was backpacking Europe a few years ago, I met one of the 3d artists for Stalker in a hostel. Super super friendly and outgoing guy - he showed me his portfolio on his laptop, amazingly talented team - limited only by tech, not imagination :D
This is an exceptional diorama - your tower practically steals the show. Since a collision with the electrical lines on the tower is implied, evidence of a subsequent fire in the crash would be a nice touch.
Amazing work as always... stunning details and I know how much effort is put in each of those models. You have been an inspiration for me for a long long time and I'm happy to see you're still out there doing amazing dioramas and models and giving us ideas on how to tackle some difficult tasks in our creative processes .
Thanks for sharing this PLASMO - you are the King of dioramas. I have a special interest in postapocalyptic sceneries, so this was a treat and I wil watch it many times for pleasure and learning. Thanks from Denmark !!
I can picture it all going wrong now in my head. The entire disaster was intense with effort & waste as there is a city, a junk lot & dumping spots for everything used at that time. Good job all around.
Amazing work as usual! How's this for a background story? The man standing by the grave was the helicopter pilot who, when things started going south, commandeered the helicopter, picked up his wife from their home and tried to get away, but crashed in the swamps when small arms fire from the ground damaged his engine and propeller. He barely made it out alive but his wife perished in the crash. He buried her right then and there and has been living in the swamps ever since, hiding and hunting down the men who shot them down. He visits her every once in a while, to remind himself of what he's doing and why.
Incredible diorama! One of your best to date. I forgot about you making the damaged helicopter until I saw this project. What an amazing work of art. Thanks for bringing us along.
Beautiful and inspiring! Ah the good ol' capillary action when resin cures with foliage/static grass nearby - I also fell into that trap when making swamps once. You solved the issue quite well. I love the end result!
One of my favorite games; my favorite You-Tuber. I can almost see the Burnt Fuzz anomaly just off the hill. It took me a while to just figure out how to get up on that hill the first time I played! Well done.
I fly this helicopter type, so i can say that usually flight engineer gets worst injures during emergency landings. To my mind this is flight engineer's grave. Thank you for good diorama! We should all remember people who gave their health and live to save the world after Chernobyl disaster. 1 Mi-8 has crashed right into exploded reactor hall.
Even when you show us step by step how you do your models, I still dont understand how is that possible. That is another increibly realistic model. You have my credits.
For me, the visitor is a random passerby. Someone who was walking through the forest and saw something strange in the woods, strange for even that part of the woods. They just go there to take in that sight, wonder about the circumstances that led to that scene. A bit like us when watching this video, they could be our proxy in the scene. I find it more melancholic that way. No special significance, but a sight to behold. (Incredible diorama, by the way!!!)
If you give everything a coat of clear matte acrylic before pouring the resin, it will do the best job of preventing that meniscus creep. Any acrylic paint will do, but if you have a lot of different materials, the clear matte is the easiest. Of course it won't help if the resin is over-filled, but other than that it works very well. BTW, another excellent video!
A little note: In real life, high voltage power lines are usually steel ropes without isolation (there are only insulators, which separates power lines and tower construction).
Just one idea: Abandoned helicopters near Tschernobyl/Pripyat would also be a frightening diorama to the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster in 2026. You did it perfectly the diorama! Awesome!🎉
Came here to check your channel on a recommendation from a modelling discord server im on. Wow! What a fantastic display. Very dark, but what an incredible set piece
Vieš čo David? Vždy keď vidim tvoju perfektnú robotu a talent tak sa radšej ničoho nechytám... úroveň ktorú stále posúvaš vyššie a vyššie, si proste "kaper" robíš to super. Klobúk dolu 😎
The stalker is the co pilot, visiting his friends grave. The helicopter pilot.💔 rip mate. 🙏
'reunited'
If things between Russia and Ukraine keep up the way that they are, this diorama may be prophetic...!!!
It’s escape from Tarkov
I was thinking ton the same lines.
... it's the 4th anniversary since "The Event" and when we lost Алексе́й (Alexei). "I still visit his final resting place in honour of our fallen comrade."
@@nofwild6325it’s STALKER

I'm 100th like to this comment
Rehehehheheheh
I must say this looks very realistic and you captured a slightly uneasy depressing mood in this piece just like the stalker games do. Bravo!
Por vezes um diorama não tem que estar muito realista, o que vale mais é a mensagem que ele tenta transmitir.
E isso é arte.
This diorama is definitely a contest winner, a gold medal !!
Ho ho ho))) Stalker inspired diorama. Perfect work my friend!
I've been watching your channel for a long time. This is the best diorama you ever made. Having hundreds of hours in the stalker series and its source material this diorama has a special place in my heart.
This is so cool! I love the story you wrote about it!
MORE STALKER. The people demand it. Well, I do lol.
I agree, there's way too little Stalker dioramas and I think its a really unexplored area that people could make tons of creative pieces
I do as well!
Indeed, more please...👍👍👍
I do too
Dnes jsem na to koukal "na živo" na modelářské výstavě. Fantastická práce...
proc se o tom vzdy dozvidam az potom
This is the greatest crossover of the entire gaming modeling worlds! Absolutely amazing job man!
I have no words. Why did I watch this video in one go?

Possibly your most impressive work so far! Looks amazing!
You and pilsner are the greatest contributions of the Czech nation to world’s culture and heritage ❤
i recently started replaying the stalker series this couldn't have dropped at a more perfect time. fantastic model and scene!
Your attention to detail is phenomenal. The oil, the grass. I've been out in the field with US Army helicopters and this brings back memories. Thankfully non involved a class A mishap, but still. Speaking of which, would you ever do another diorama of helicopters in the field? I can send some personal photos if it would help.
That's probably the coolest diorama I've seen. The foliage and weathering effects are amazing in every way.
Fantastic work, wow!
This was originally a rescuemission extracting civillians from a contaminated area years ago after a radioactive chemical spill. On the last run, the chopper crashed killing all but the pilot who was able to get away. He raised a family elsewhere in the end. The events and memories of his fallen crewmates never left him though. The stalker took his father, who was the pilot, back to crashsite to be buried there with his crewmates. It was his dying wish…
Honestly, the resin overflowing made it look more like a sludgy, post apocalyptic swamp anyway. Gorgeous work as ever, showing how its done!
The telegraph pole makes it look a whole lot more apocalyptic than a building would have, absolutely stunning work
With the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 I thought I'd rewatch the whole thing, and it captures the postapocalyptic vibe so well. Really nicely done. The night-light luminescence of the radioactive waste in the water is such a cool and crazy little detail to add!

Amazing work and diorama, David. I’m blown away by your attention to detail.
Outstanding video and presentation.
A true artist at work! Tremendous job as usual David.
the glow in the dark stuff you added is unreal!
I like how even that failure of the resin spreading everywhere didn't put Plasmo off, excellent work.
I know if it were me, I would either have despaired, become depressed over it or just got angry and shelved the whole thing, never to see light again!
Would love to see more of a post apocalyptic theme. Love environmental storytelling.
Love you doing dioramas, you should do more
When I was backpacking Europe a few years ago, I met one of the 3d artists for Stalker in a hostel. Super super friendly and outgoing guy - he showed me his portfolio on his laptop, amazingly talented team - limited only by tech, not imagination :D
Inspiring work as always David! Amazing work!
Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by the attention to detail and creativity. Wonderful job once again!
Maybe the best diorama i've ever seen!! Congratulations
With this diorama, you fulfilled my game dreams from 2008; I am grateful to you
Absolutely stunning! Your attention to detail is simply amazing!
This is an exceptional diorama - your tower practically steals the show. Since a collision with the electrical lines on the tower is implied, evidence of a subsequent fire in the crash would be a nice touch.
watching you make those plastic 50 gallon drums come to life is fantastic! The whole diorama is superb!
After all the years of watching, i clearly can say...i don´t get used to your outstanding work.
Thank you , David .
🐺 Loupis Canis .
I would cast the figure in the role of a roaming survivor. Excellent diorama work, patience and hard work produce spectacular results, well done ! ! !
I love your commitment to the piece. But you are also incredibly cathartic to listen to. Youve earned a subscriber. Keep up the awesome work.
Awesome work! A bird nest in the tower would have been another great detail
Amazing work as always... stunning details and I know how much effort is put in each of those models. You have been an inspiration for me for a long long time and I'm happy to see you're still out there doing amazing dioramas and models and giving us ideas on how to tackle some difficult tasks in our creative processes .
Thanks for sharing this PLASMO - you are the King of dioramas. I have a special interest in postapocalyptic sceneries, so this was a treat and I wil watch it many times for pleasure and learning. Thanks from Denmark !!
When you can invoke emotion with bits of plastic, sawdust, paint and 300 grams of resin, you know you are an artist. Stunning result.
Absolutely mesmerizing work. I'd rather have this on display in my home than any of the things I see in art galleries these days.
Fantastic work Plasmo!!
Thank you David, for your wonderful videos and dioramas.
Both a wonderful inspiration.
You're an absolute genius, Plasmo!!! Incredible work!! Masterpiece 👍👍
Nádherné diorama i dost inspirativní. 👌
Beyond BRILLIANT!! - your art only gets better.
Fantastic work David, the diorama looks great, well done.
I can picture it all going wrong now in my head. The entire disaster was intense with effort & waste as there is a city, a junk lot & dumping spots for everything used at that time. Good job all around.
David, this is a work of art. Congratulations!
I remember watching the video for the helicopter build and I couldn’t wait for the diorama. Bravo
Amazing work as usual! How's this for a background story? The man standing by the grave was the helicopter pilot who, when things started going south, commandeered the helicopter, picked up his wife from their home and tried to get away, but crashed in the swamps when small arms fire from the ground damaged his engine and propeller.

Énorme fantastique .
Le réalisme est énorme
Perfect Diorama because... Perfect Models were just not enough. Amazing work!
Couldn't be better timing, I started playing stalker again this week!
As always another Great video
Incredible diorama! One of your best to date. I forgot about you making the damaged helicopter until I saw this project. What an amazing work of art. Thanks for bringing us along.
The best diorama ever. Well done.
I waited for this lovely diorama. It looks very good. Thank you for your content!
Love your Pripyat scenes. This one is amazing.
All the practice since 2011 really helped make this as good as it is now!
Beautiful and inspiring! Ah the good ol' capillary action when resin cures with foliage/static grass nearby - I also fell into that trap when making swamps once. You solved the issue quite well. I love the end result!
Music in all your videos making amazing climate. Great modeling and video editing skills.
every upload is a treat, love your work as always
You are by far the best model builder on the net love watching your skills true artist.
The king returns!
One of my favorite games; my favorite You-Tuber. I can almost see the Burnt Fuzz anomaly just off the hill. It took me a while to just figure out how to get up on that hill the first time I played! Well done.
Such a great dio. Story telling at it's finest
Maybe the guy is a crew meber of the Helicopter and this is the day when it chrashed, so he came back to remember his Firend. By the way great video.
Another excellent project David, thank you

its hereeeeeeeeeeee the diorama where i've been waiting for :)))))))))))
I have been waiting for this diorama since 2011. I hope I won't disappoint you with the result. 😅
Ahaha that's a long time, looks very good man clap clap!!

(Incredible diorama, by the way!!!)
Looks like stingray 7 ended up in the great swamp. Great work on this, mate!
Nádhera , hodně precizní práce a důvtipu . Klobouk dolů .
So nice to see another diorama project!

The tower looks fantastic
Thanks. The 3D printing helps a lot. 🚀
The stalker is the helicopter pilot, and he found his own grave. Excellent work!
its just beautiful the over grown ness of the area is just amazing
Это ,очередной шедевр от Дэвида😊
this brings back memories--- memories of suffering, but *cherished* memories of suffering.
This is super inspiring, please make more dioramas 🙌
A little note: In real life, high voltage power lines are usually steel ropes without isolation (there are only insulators, which separates power lines and tower construction).
I love watching you create these works of art.❤. And you’ve done it again. Masterful work. Makes me wish I could still do this.
You have created an absolute master-piece
That is mastery of a hobby. Detailed is an understatement.
🌏🇭🇲
Just one idea: Abandoned helicopters near Tschernobyl/Pripyat would also be a frightening diorama to the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster in 2026.
You did it perfectly the diorama! Awesome!🎉
Came here to check your channel on a recommendation from a modelling discord server im on. Wow! What a fantastic display. Very dark, but what an incredible set piece
Шикарная диорама! Очень атмосферно.
Excellent!!
Plasmo, your work is so amazing. Love it. So talented.
What a timing! After years I am right now in the middle of this game.
Awesome work as always!
great work as always, thank you.
Since you mentioned it, I think many people would also like to see your railroad models, maybe a tour video sometime? :)
