Building Military Dioramas, Vol. V

This 5th installment in VP’s popular Building Military Dioramas series features 9 new articles covering the art of making military dioramas & vignettes. Three new articles from the workshop at VP studios include Coffee with Milk, Please, a peaceful scene set in the Normandy countryside, Deadlock, a comprehensive urban diorama set on the Eastern Front in WWII, and Payback Time Afghanistan 2001, featuring the consequences of the new war on terrorism. Greg Cihlar is back again with 3 stunning new WWII themes, including a massive German industrial complex with lot’s of action entitled Evacuation, Breakfast at the Front, a cold winter scene with the Tamiya Marder III, and Directions, an American M10 finding it’s way through a frosty forest. Young Jin Won returns with another pair of figure-painting masterpieces, both taking place in Berlin, April 1945. The first detail-packed vignette entitled ''Running Scared'' animates a trio of Germans leaping from a quad 20mm Flakvierling 38, while the second, entitled From the Inside has another trio of desperate German soldiers taking cover within a destroyed house corner. Finally, newcomer Robert Dopp from Germany debuts with a spectacular Tiger track-repair scene appropriately entitled Minenschaden. This latest book again promises to inspire & amaze both novice and expert modelers, as well as non-modelers.
