Item 72 : WWII Dioramas
Osprey Modelling Manual - 7
While modelling and detailing individual figures or vehicles is a satisfying project in itself, placing the models in a realistic action setting provides a spectacular backdrop for your work. World War II - fought over a variety of terrain from the frozen Arctic to the heat and sand of the western desert, as well as through towns and cities and across forest and wilderness - allows an unlimited number of locations and tactical scenarios for dioramas.
In WWII Dioramas the skills of incomparable dioramas mdellers are laid bare in a way that will be inmense value to the average model-maker. Composition, detailing, construction, painting - all the skills of the model-maker's art are shown off in two brilliant dioramas : an urban scene in a war-torn town that combines work of buildings - exteriors and interiors - with figures and a vivid tank action in the Bocage country of Narmandy that focuses on the realistic portrayal of men and vehicles in scenery 
Softbd., 7 3/4" x 10 1/2", 64 pgs., all color  ill.
