Dioramas FAQ – English Language Edition by Rubén González. AK 8000

Dioramas FAQ explores the composition, construction, painting and weathering of dioramas in this massive step by step guide by master modeller Rubén González. All the elements necessary for a great diorama are covered in great detail with hundreds of colour photos and illustrations, for example, trees, shrubs, terrain, jungle, vending machines (!?) and loads more. At 560 pages, it’s big, heavy and probably the most comprehensive book on the subject.
