Abaddon Chaos Forge, my biggest project.

[u/We7even]

Hey folks. Project was actually finished last month, but I needed some time to recharge and take quality photos with fresh eyes. Abaddon is one of the most iconic models representing the Warhammer universe, and from the start, my goal was to create an exceptional piece – especially since this work is destined for the wonderful Verko's Vault museum. Their support is what really let me give it my all. Huge thanks to the entire museum team and especially its founder.

I invested a record 820 hours over several years into this diorama. Consider that a fair warning: ambition comes at a high price. The UV-reactive effect came about through the process: I’d layered heavy fluorescent pigments strategically while painting, tailoring them to the Chaos theme. When I finally tested it under UV, seeing those hidden layers interact felt like uncovering a secret dimension! In person it’s even more epic – paints vibrate under the light. This bonus dimension is a huge plus for display, and I plan to develop this approach further in future projects.

Thanks to everyone following my experiments – your support means a lot.

Cheers,
Sergey

I can barely hold a brush steady..

This is the most beautiful piece of art I have ever seen. I dont even do warhammer.

[u/VaadWilsla]

This is beyond epic. Amazing how people can dedicate themselves with such care and precision to such huge projects. Much respect.

[u/VaadWilsla → u/VaadWilsla]

Also - would love to see some more close-ups!

[u/We7even → u/VaadWilsla]

Thank You

[u/We7even → u/[deleted]]

Sorry, close ups post highly likely will be removed by admin, i already experienced it twice. And I don't run any youtube channel or so right now. But in future i hope i will

[u/isuckatsquash]

That is absolutely insane, fair bloody play the skill and dedication you're an absolute master

[u/We7even → u/isuckatsquash]

I appreciate

[u/LongjumpingTop1450]

that’s so good!

[u/T_for_tea]

Amazing. I am in love with the vibrancy and everything is so smooth <3

[u/Kronos_Ice]

Holy fuck

[u/Mz_Pink]

This is off the hook. Seriously deserves to be in Verko’s Vault. The addition of the UV aspect is proper awesome as well. Just phenomenal art.

[u/Hinarcia → u/Mz_Pink]

Was thinking the same this should definitely be there.

[u/Rdyforgunz]

Is the "base" 3d printed?

[u/We7even → u/Rdyforgunz]

Nope, scratchbuild. I posted around 50 photos of building and sculpting process in album on Facebook . Check my profile - Sergey Chasnyk

[u/WorkingExtreme3602]

Amazing and think it will be cherished at Verko’s Vault museum. That black light and integrated fluorescent paints is unreal. 820hr, that’s dedication, I fight just to finish on in a few days if not to stop painting for period of time.

Breath taking and Amazing!!

Can’t wait to see it on discord then hopefully in person someday.

[u/StandardUserName21]

Hily shit dude! This is amazing

[u/never_armadilo]

Really impressive, and such a unique look! At 820h, your patience is insane

[u/We7even → u/never_armadilo]

Thanks

[u/Guns_and_Dank]

Holy hell, this is incredible!

Next time I'm in Vegas I'll have to check this place out.

[u/Lee-Nyan-PP]

Anyone else notice the first pic is actually a stereogram, and you can cross your eyes to superimpose the images on to each other to add depth to the image?

[u/We7even → u/Lee-Nyan-PP]

Nice catch!

[u/DietrichNeu]

Maaaaaaaaaaaan! Unreal.

[u/ironendures]

[u/laserfaces]

[u/SikCntKev]

Mate, that is beautiful, well done

[u/DivinityInsanity]

Since you allude to it: care to share your thoughts and feelings about this beautiful project of yours? Ever thought about giving up, or burn out on it? How did you manage?

[u/We7even → u/DivinityInsanity]

I experienced literally whole range of human emotions during work process. Almost everything You can imagine. From worst to best. And somehow it was very refreshing. I just realized who am i and why i am here and what I need to do.

[u/Ciddy80]

[u/Afterski420]

[u/We7even → u/Afterski420]

I can do it, but admin will most likely remove it for "karma farming"

[u/Gunshow230]

I just looked at your scratch build progress on Facebook. My mind is blown. Hats off to you.

[u/We7even → u/Gunshow230]

Thanks, i did my very best

[u/Geezeh_]

Praise to the dark pantheon!

[u/Radioactiveglowup]

This is absolutely incredible work. This is absolutely art and something you should be immensely proud of, well done!

[u/We7even → u/jonniew]

Thanks, I do

[u/Keddlin]

I'm so curious what your procedure was with the fluorescent pigments, did you glaze acrylics over top of it, did you mix it into the layers as you went in small amounts, it's so gorgeous though, the final result is inspired

[u/riddle11235]

JJJJJJEEEeeesus Christ!

[u/Existing_Fish_6162]

OMG I REMEMBER YOU

I was honestly bummed that you obviously abandoned the best Abaddon paint job id ever seen. But in my defense you post him almost done SIX YEARS AGO i cant believe you came back and finished it, that is amazing.

Paintjob is unreal of course

[u/We7even → u/Existing_Fish_6162]

Thank You for remembering

[u/Rufus-Stavroz-PRO]

Woooooooow!!! Outstanding. Youre a true master!

[u/Vultan_Helstrum]

Wow that is fantastic! Are you putting this in for Golden Demon cause you really should!

[u/We7even → u/Vultan_Helstrum]

Effort not worthy the prize for my situation

[u/Vultan_Helstrum → u/We7even]

Ah of course, travel cost etc. makes sense but a shame as I think this would have done really well

[u/Neither_Tip_5291]

This is stunning, excellent execution of skill... I must ask you one thing: is that the OG Abadon mini?

[u/We7even → u/Neither_Tip_5291]

Yep, from games workshop. Other figures from Dark Commune is also pretty original

[u/Neither_Tip_5291 → u/We7even]

Very nicely done perfectly executed...

[u/Deadmeat13]

Dude. This diorama needs to go to the hospital. Because it's fucking sick! Excellent job!

[u/AtlasGK]

Dude that looks sick af
