& vignettes. Three new articles from the workshop at VP studios

Superdioramas
(Paperback)
by Francois Verlinden
With a very suitable title, this book highlights the work of two
very accomplished and ambitious modelers, Lewis Pruneau and Bob Letterman,
both of which were inspired and befriended by Francois Verlinden early
in his career. Francois immediately published this first book dedicated
to their work in order to introduce them to the rest of the scale
modeling community. The book focuses on only three pieces of their work,
but in reality a book could easily have been made for each of these
massive pieces. The first piece, entitled The Paris Gun, is a 1:35 scale
monster of a German railroad mounted gun built from scratch by Lewis Pruneau.
Depicted in a diorama as it appeared during construction in the factory,
this piece is comprehensively detailed from every side to a very high
level of realism. The next piece, also by Lewis, is of a dry-docked German
experimental U-Boat undergoing maintenance. Again, the entire piece is
built from scratch, with many photographs taken during construction. This
piece truly illustrates the talents of this bold modeler. The final article
focuses on a miniature city in 1:35 scale by Bob Letterman. Depicting a
French city undergoing liberation from the Germans by Pattons forces during
WWII, it truly must be seen to be believed. Although the main theme
is clearly shown in the form of U.S. Army convoys moving past columns of
German P.O.W.s in the city, seemingly countless details can be seen,
from individual vignettes on street corners, to different European architectural
styles. This book is a must for every modeler, artist, military enthusiast,
and history buff.

How
to Model World War II German Armor
(Paperback)
by Carl McLaughlin
This book covers all the areas one needs to know when modeling AFV's
painting, dry-brushing, photo-etched parts even diorama building. It's
chapters and writing style is laid out in a logical and easy-to-read manners.
Sometimes just how the author achieved certain results really could use
more detail (I'm still baffled as to how to apply a wash with an airbrush).
The biggest problem I had with this book is that it has very little
information on the uniqueness of WWII German armor. It does not cover German
camouflage schemes, the wide array of colors used or the various kind of
extra gear one might have seen on a German vehicle. I does cover the application
of zimmerit but fails to detail the different types, such as the waffle
pattern, and on which armor it would have appeared on. On how to model
armor this book is quite useful. On the particulars of German armor this
book is not as useful as implied.
