“Most vignette/diorama books are precise and detailed, but limited to a few models. This is the phone catalogue of dioramas! I mean 559 pages of step by step instructions of each vignette and diorama more impressive than the last, and each subtitle focuses on one detail, arranged into different chapters so you can easily find the reference work you want. This book took several hours just to flick through the first time and I had to force myself from stopping and continue to the next chapter just to get through the book! This is a real step by step guide to how to make the details that are used in dioramas and vignettes and although it’s sponsored/made by AK, you can easily substitute their products with your favourite ones – or you can buy the ones they use in this book if you don’t have them and have just started to make dioramas and vignettes. It’s up to you. The book weighs several kilos – hence why I called it a phone catalogue (white pages) of a major city but every page is a gold mine! Some books are limited, for beginners or on a specific subject, but this is a book for inspiration and taking things to the next level – this is the book you need to expand your diorama and vignette building to be able to create any type of environment from urband to jungle, summer to winter and pretty to wartime – all are there! Very inspirational and a huge reference library all in one (very thick and heavy) book! If you want to start making vignettes and dioramas but don’t know where to begin? This is the one to pick. If you have made a couple of dioramas, or vignettes, but don’t know what to do next or how to up your game? This is the one to pick. If you're an expert... Well, then I suspect you already own this book. If not? This is the one to pick.”

“This a huge book that answers question I hadn't even thought to ask yet. The only thing missing is a DVD demonstrating the processes discussed, which I feel is a missed opportunity.”

“Great book that in honesty I've only had the time to skim through and read POI's and picked up some interesting ideas and hopefully many more. Only critique would be that the book is more pictures than wording and How to. They give you the ideas, the concepts and some pictures and leave the rest to you.”

“This is a superb book, packed with quality photos and information. It is a must have for anyone looking to start building their own diorama or a quality reference full of useful techniques for the accomplished modeller. Together with Panzer wrecks fantastic service and fast delivery, this is definitely a must have.”
