The brilliant Dave Andrews made this fantastic diorama for Golden Demon and it won Gold if I remember correctly.

This was before the time of the Forge World Thunderbolt and even before Forge World! Very clever and simple idea which works really well.

Another view.

If it reminds you of Dave Andrews’ classic Thunderbolt diorama then you wouldn’t be too far wrong, it inspired the diorama above.

There is lots of lovely detail in the model.
