These are amazing . . . I like all the little details; you even have what looks like some bits of trash or litter scattered around, and the tree looks very realistic.
What impresses me even more is the amount of energy you have; not only are you building these intricate dioramas, but you seem to be submitting a story to someone every couple weeks or so. That's a lot of stuff for anybody to be doing.

Davey and Goliath: After the Bomb
Anybody (on this side of the pond) remember the old stop-motion / claymation religious series "Davey and Goliath" (spoofed a few times on MadTV or SNL -- can't remember which)? The miniature people and animals kind of remind me of that series, if the Bible-loving Boy and his Dog (not to be confused with the Harlan Ellison variants) were wandering around a civilization built on the ashes of an apocalypse.

You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Keep us posted on the next one, then; I'm starting to like these (to my surprise).
I thought the first-pace winner did outstanding work with the paint job, but unless I'm mistaken, yours was the only prize winner that had people in it. I think that adds a lot of interest, because then the viewer is looking at it and wondering what those kids think or what they'll do next. Looking at inanimate objects doesn't generate that kind of interest.
For this reason, I liked yours a little better.

I was raised by humans. What's your excuse?
