Stalker Call of Pripyat - Crashed Helicopter - Post-apocalyptic Diorama 1/72

In a world ravaged by war and destruction, there was a lone survivor - a pilot who had crash-landed in the middle of the wasteland. For weeks, he struggled to survive, scrounging for food and water and sheltering from the harsh elements. But despite all his hardships, he never lost hope. One day, he stumbled upon a group of other survivors - people who had been wandering the wasteland just like him. They welcomed him with open arms and shared their stories of survival. Over time, he became a valued member of their community, helping to scavenge for supplies and protect his new friends from danger. And as he looked out over the desolate landscape, he felt a sense of purpose and belonging that he had never experienced before. For even in the midst of chaos and destruction, there was still hope for a better tomorrow. 😶‍🌫️🎞️🚁

The stalker is the co pilot, visiting his friends grave. The helicopter pilot.💔 rip mate. 🙏

'reunited'

[@stevedrake1861]

If things between Russia and Ukraine keep up the way that they are, this diorama may be prophetic...!!!

[@nofwild6325]

It’s escape from Tarkov

[@AAOMorpheus]

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."

[@awesomo9262]

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!

[@antoniomanuelcaetano6770]

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.

[@pguth98]

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!

[@christopherroutt4937]

MORE STALKER. The people demand it. Well, I do lol.

[@Oofboi967]

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

[@ThePizzaGoblin]

I do as well!

[@stickyweasel8837]

Indeed, more please...👍👍👍

[@KATHLEEN-XM772]

I do too

[@andreamanera6784]

This diorama is definitely a contest winner, a gold medal !!

[@noqualitydioramas]

Ho ho ho))) Stalker inspired diorama. Perfect work my friend!

[@_________________T]

The first Pripyat model you did sent me into a 20 hour binge of your videos and videos about Chernobyl and other modelers only to find you are by far the best. Thank you for your content and for who you are. I appreciate you.

[@free_spirit1]

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.

[@Volsheb_Nik_Studio]

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

[@funkylilpossum6725]

This is so cool! I love the story you wrote about it!

[@justbandit5572]

i recently started replaying the stalker series this couldn't have dropped at a more perfect time. fantastic model and scene!

[@mildly_miffed_man1414]

This is the greatest crossover of the entire gaming modeling worlds! Absolutely amazing job man!

[@drahomirpolach8890]

Dnes jsem na to koukal "na živo" na modelářské výstavě. Fantastická práce...

[@karelpapik7678]

proc se o tom vzdy dozvidam az potom

[@hefeibao]

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.

[@cracker0254]

Possibly your most impressive work so far! Looks amazing!

[@willm5032]

Honestly, the resin overflowing made it look more like a sludgy, post apocalyptic swamp anyway. Gorgeous work as ever, showing how its done!

[@ronaldbyrne3320]

Amazing work and diorama, David. I’m blown away by your attention to detail.

[@stealthbomber2127]

A true artist at work! Tremendous job as usual David.

[@Drummercommander]

Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by the attention to detail and creativity. Wonderful job once again!

[@BB_Chaptsick]

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.

[@thewaynesiewatsg]

This is just an outstanding piece of work. I really love how you have brought your long held idea to life. It’s a feeling that all of us aspire to I’m sure! Can’t wait for the next video :-)

[@mikebillinghurst1740]

Inspiring work as always David! Amazing work!

[@martinhulst6702]

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…

[@downedmushroom9659]

The telegraph pole makes it look a whole lot more apocalyptic than a building would have, absolutely stunning work

[@michawizor4712]

You and pilsner are the greatest contributions of the Czech nation to world’s culture and heritage ❤

[@daffo001]

Absolutely stunning! Your attention to detail is simply amazing!

[@philtherhythm]

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 .

[@telescopereplicator]

Thank you David, for your wonderful videos and dioramas. Both a wonderful inspiration.

[@oldman9642]

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.

[@miketeeveedub5779]

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!"

[@adamcook5940]

watching you make those plastic 50 gallon drums come to life is fantastic! The whole diorama is superb!

[@StellarGryphon]

And absolutely stunning model, very nicely done! Love seeing when people do post-apocalyptic builds.

[@nikodemnerdowski8449]

With this diorama, you fulfilled my game dreams from 2008; I am grateful to you

[@jacobcronk2785]

That's probably the coolest diorama I've seen. The foliage and weathering effects are amazing in every way.

[@Mikishots]

Love your Pripyat scenes. This one is amazing.

[@spacemanvw]

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 !!

[@EmmettTheGoon]

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.

[@kakurof]

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!

[@NV..V]

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.

[@UnkleKlumsy1353]

every upload is a treat, love your work as always

[@Tuktanuk]

Perfect Diorama because... Perfect Models were just not enough. Amazing work!

[@minimal9001]

I waited for this lovely diorama. It looks very good. Thank you for your content!

[@johntreloar8203]

Fantastic work David, the diorama looks great, well done.

[@krzysztofbaczek9548]

Uwielbiam Twoje filmy, ale ten wyjątkowo trafia w mój gust ponieważ głównie interesuje mnie postapokaliptyka i w takiej konwencji sam tworzę modele. Doskonała robota, mam nadzieję, że jeszcze pojawią się dioramy w takich klimatach 👍

[@gonran4661]

Amazing work. Thanks for showing this masterpiece.❤🎉

Another excellent project David, thank you

Beyond BRILLIANT!! - your art only gets better.

Maybe the best diorama i've ever seen!! Congratulations

[@elfiasco78]

After all the years of watching, i clearly can say...i don´t get used to your outstanding work.

[@Jayneflakes]

Beautiful work as always, thank you for sharing your process. ☢🖤

[@rifledude303]

Absolutely phenomenal work! One of your most impressive

[@Necromediancer]

Would love to see more of a post apocalyptic theme. Love environmental storytelling.

[@fotomakr]

Phenomenal work! That diorama and helicopter are stunning from every angle.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Great feel and mood to this dio. Excellent painting and weathering and the landscaping was a project in and of itself. Well done! 👍

[@Valkoinen_Kuolema]

What a timing! After years I am right now in the middle of this game. Awesome work as always!

[@danielbritton8588]

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.

[@rutgaurxi7314]

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!

[@rehansiraj1517]

The best diorama ever. Well done.

[@MGB-learning]

As always another Great video

[@stevenmcgrath5114]

I would cast the figure in the role of a roaming survivor. Excellent diorama work, patience and hard work produce spectacular results, well done ! ! !

[@scottmccloud9029]

Your work is incredible. Great job.

[@awachsmann]

Beautiful work and amazing attention to detail!

[@gta4ever3003]

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!🎉

[@obli1680]

the glow in the dark stuff you added is unreal!

[@petersonsilva3751]

David, this is a work of art. Congratulations!

[@interface25]

Just outstanding. I could look at it for hours!

Amazing as always! Well done

One of my all time favourites, fantastic job 👍

Amazing as always.

I remember watching the video for the helicopter build and I couldn’t wait for the diorama. Bravo

[@internetoldie]

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

[@gustaflekander718]

amazing work, you never fail to impress. Keep doing what you do

[@James-on1vy]

This is your best work to date! Amazing!

[@marcanosky6289]

To je nádherný Davide. Ty nejsi modelář ,ale umělec. Tak precizní a čistá práce. To celkové pojetí . Já jen se kochám. Je opravdu zázrak co dokážeš udělat ,vyrobit. pořád se posouváš a lepšíš se. Jsem zvědaví kam dojdeš. Inspiruješ ostatní k modelařině ,jako třeba mě. Po dlouhé době jsem díky tobě začal znovu modelařit. At se ti daří chlape. Jsi králem modelářů.Těším se na další projekt co vymyslíš.

[@raymondbarnell9123]

great job as always!

This looks superb. Great tutorial.

🔥You never stop surprising us, Love the work Mr.Plasmo

[@MalenGarek]

This is super inspiring, please make more dioramas 🙌

[@BrushQuill]

Such a great dio. Story telling at it's finest

[@acollingray]

Amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Gopnik57]

AWESOME!!!! I was thinking of doing a replica of one MI-24 crashside from Stalker COP, this gave me the go... its gonna take a while but im gonna keep you updated on her!

[@michaellammens9029]

Woaw fabulous work !!!

[@makimaki500]

All the practice since 2011 really helped make this as good as it is now!

[@Nuclearbeagle]

You have created an absolute master-piece

[@nosalis]

this is amazing, thank you so much for sharing the progress and tips! I'd love to make some diorama as well at some point, but still have to learn a lot with just the model building, before I start with the environment / diorama

[@pfg72]

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.

[@wolfpack4694]

Looks great! As usual!

[@iphonedjoey]

Amazing work as always.

[@stealthflower]

So nice to see another diorama project!

[@FeatherWing162]

This is so unlike any other diorama I’ve ever seen and I so wish I could create something like this (don’t really have the time of day right now). It’s also something I relate to a lot since my favorite thing to photograph is abandonment of man-made machines and objects.

[@anotherjones5384]

Couldn't be better timing, I started playing stalker again this week!

[@mrwolfewood7632]

Now I see what you mean from my comment on the helicopter video. Well done! I'm actually just recently getting in to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. myself, and seeing this makes me want to boot it up again!

[@FENGHYNA]

Amazing work ! Well done 😮

[@sockpocketpre-alpha8258]

Love you doing dioramas, you should do more
