Stunning Work From The Winners Of Tabletop World’s Competition
May 9, 2017 by deltagamegirl22
It's moments like this where I am really proud of this hobby...
Tabletop World is showing off the top three winners of the recently completed painting competition and the work is brilliant!
First place went to Simone Pohlenz, from the UK with this "The Fisherman's Wharf". This is such a beautiful diorama! You literally don't know where to look first.
There is so much detail packed into the piece. I'm a sucker for flowers and flock on terrain and Simone really delivered with this scene.
The splash of colour just pops in the darker paint scheme, but not at the expense of looking unnatural. Just, Wow.
Then there's the market space, where the fish is being cleaned and crabs are ready to sell by the basketful. And then there was the little gem that really made this piece for me, the gorgeous fresco on the side of one of the buildings! Seriously, gorgeous.
Venetian Scene
The second place winner is David Rumeau, from France with "Venezia il Sérénissime", with a stunning Venetian diorama.
This is another lovely piece that's packed with detail.
There's a bit of a lighter colour scheme for this one, but still incredible attention to detail with the characters and more fantastic flock work.
A Village Cottage
And last, but certainly not least, is Tilo Schmiedl, Germany with Cottage. This is the perfect example of how a single piece can really hold their own even with the likes of stunning dioramas.
This little cottage has such wonderful care in the weathering effect and various shades of colour in the stones- and of course, there's flowers and flock work!
Well done to the talented winners of the competition that found themselves in possession of credit to buy more lovely terrain from Tabletop World.
What do you think of the winning pieces?

wow, amazing work!
it’s stuff like this that made me fall in love with the hobby in the first place.
we use superlatives all the time here on BOW but these are truly worth the best of them.
Wow, just wow! These are truly phenomenal.
Exquisite! Wow!
Amazing work for sure. I love the detail put into the scenes. I don’t mean to belittle the work at all, but I think the pieces produced by Tabletop World ultimately helps the hobbyist get their craft to the next level. I know that if I were to build these pieces from scratch in foamcore, basswood, and card I wouldn’t have the energy left to add all of the finishing detail! Instead, the hobbyist can focus on fine painting and flourishing the pieces with a lot of character. Congrats to the winners!
This is AWESOME!
Congrats to the winners!
Wow. That is all. Well that and my undying envy of their talent.
ooh wow that is stunning.
Boy am I wishing I could get my hands on the terrain pieces they used. Each of them is jam packed with detail.
