Just found this Chapman Brothers video, I remember the installation but didn't know someone shot a video of it.

That's a really beautiful installation, I'm curious I know I could just look it up and find out but maybe you just know. Do they specialize in models, or was this just something they did for a show?
Again that was really beautiful work I'd love to see this work in person.

I don't think they actually specialize in models as I've seen other works from the Chapmans that are quite different from this diorama.
Here's their official website:

Depends what you mean when you say 'models' ...
Their work is certainly three-dimensional.
Early pieces were based on mutated shop mannequins, esp of children,
which led to hysterical accusations of pedophilia & their section at the "Sensations" exhibition
being limited to over 18's:

However, I distinctly remember one piece being an obvious 3D reworking of Goya's famous "Disasters of War" series,
a theme they've returned to time & again:

I fucking love them.
"Explaining Christians To Dinosaurs", lol:

Yeah, I mean models as miniatures. They definitely work a lot with sculptures and installations. I also love them, among my favourite artists out there.

I saw their stuff at the Sensation Show at the Brooklyn Museum of Art in 1999 (twice!)
That was an incredible show!
