Road to El Dorado

Hi everyone!
Here is our first stand-alone diorama "Road to El Dorado" made specially for small diorama contest in Moscow. This time it's postapocalyptic-dieselpunk style.
The story is about of two girls El and Dorado (El - is a name of original character given by sculptor. And when we decided to combine with another figure we realized that second girl needs a name too. So we decided to do some word-play and continued "El" with "Dorado" - so the pair name is El Dorado - "Golden city"). They are heading to abandoned city "El Dorado". They stopped near a highway to fill the chopper's tank, taking bad gasoline from a crashed car.
1. Figures have many modifications. We made a hood and a bag to Dorado and transformed strange El's stick to a fuel-gun. Also moved the box to Dorado.
2. The chopper is my first complex 3D-model in Solidworks.
3. Sticking back of Cadillac ElDorado'59 is also printed, painted and weathered. Real car didn't have the fuel door in this place but it was the real trend in 50's to hide gas cap behind one of rear lights (Many american 50's cars have this feature)
4. Billboard made of a plastic box. Poster is made of a few scans of 30-50's advertising and magazines, then title was added, printed and glued on a natural veneer sheet squares.
5. Back is a modified concept to the "Last of Us" game, (I redraw vehicles and added a skyscraper from the poster to a city skyline. Printed it on PVC.
6. It's the first time we tried transparent epoxy resin to imitate liquid fuel.
7. Dorado have a lot of fish-style elements. Her fish-head hood, paint and even a small fish hook as a details because "dorado" is the name of a real yellow-blue fish. Also regarding our story she is a shaman from one of coastal wasteland tribes.
8. Computer in a motorcycle back box is a piece of a "kinder-surprise" toy.
9. Lamps on the billboard made from a broken lamp stand.

crio22, thanx a lot! You are the first one who remembered "The Road". Mostly it reminds people about Fallout games and post-apocalyptic version of "Michiko and Hatchin" anime ^____________^

Really jaw dropping! Perfect Diorama. It really tells a story that makes me want to know more about the characters.

Thanks, moetle!!! I'm glad you like the characters. We love them so much that I even started to write a short novel about their trip. Sadly It will be only in russian I think (my english skills are not bad, but not good enough to write novels in english). But I think I can translate a piece of it and publish with the WIP.

It was made for a contest (very small real-life contest in Moscow) and it won the first place. So it's was impossible to use it for the contest here. But don't worry - there is another awesome project for E2046 GK-2016 )))
