Webmasters Note: When I used the non-Toxic
plastic cement, it would work almost as good as the toxic glues in the red
label tube. However, after a couple of years, this type of cement
doesn't give a proper, lasting bond that the toxic cement used.
You're better off going to Wal Mart
and getting the bottle with the RED Label, it will make a difference in the
long run.

Military Dioramas Vol.V (Paperback)
by Francois Verlinden Book Description 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. Price: $14.95
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. Price: $14.90
