This diorama shows a flight crew preparing an Imperial Navy Thunderbolt fighter for battle.
The amazing Dave Andrews made this fantastic diorama for the 1995 Open category Golden Demon and it won Gold. This was before the time of the Forge World Thunderbolt and even before Forge World!
More photographs of the diorama.
I have always liked this jousting diorama, The Bretonnian Joust, by Dave Andrews which won the Open Competition in the 1996 Golden Demon awards.
The level of detail is outstanding. There are hoof marks in the ground, created using clay. The manuscript on the back is handwritten.

It was full of lovely details such as this mobile generator.
The model Thunderbolt was based on the Epic miniature.
Very clever and simple idea which works really well.
Photographed at Warhammer World. More photographs of the flightdeck here and here.

Across the diorama are lots of figures adding to the story. The pavilion is made from foil, but is painted to look like cloth.
Some more photographs and details about the model can be found here.
This beautifully painted Imperial Fists Damocles Command Rhino won the Forgeworld Best of Show prize in the 2005 UK Golden Demon awards.
The radar dish moved around and as you can see in this shot, the inside included “real” lights (made from LEDs).
It was very well painted and made good use of the Forgeworld Imperial Fists doors. Though I wasn’t too sure about the “highlighting” on the radar dish. The aerials are well done and add to the overall effectiveness of the model. Probably not too practical for a gaming model!
The weathering is very subtle and very well done, sometimes I think it can be too easy to over-weather models.
The UK Games Day Slayer Sword winner 2012 – Karol Rudyk’s Vampire Counts Zombie Dragon.
A really superb model and very different to previous winners.

Really nice miniature from the German Golden Demon Awards (where it won silver).
Nice composition and lots of lovely detail, some great toolboxes and parts.
