Larry, these are two photo books about my dioramas . I had to finance the project myself because of the limited number of interested people, according to the publisher that is . I have 25 of each ( as a start). Each book contains 24 pages of full coloured pictures of some of the dioramas I made using toy soldiers . There are also some pictures of dioramas consisting of 1/35 scale and 54mm metal figures which I have painted myself. 4 books of part 1 and 2 have been sold already . If we score a minimum of 100 books sold then there will be a follow up publication "How to". In this next book I will show 3 or 4 dioramas and explain how they were made with text and pictures.
here is a picture you will find in part 2 of a diorama I made a long time ago using 1/35 scale hand painted metal figures and a repaint of a vamped up forces of Valor Sherman tank ;

it is my intention to sell these books at local ( Belgian) modellers exhibitions and competitions.
if you are really interested I can send them to you but I have to warn you about the total cost of geting the book to your doorstep
the book itself costs €37 per volume.
The shipping cost for 1 book to the US would be €13.05 and to Australia € 21.75 and for both volumes € 26.10 to the US and € 43.50 rest of the world
if you are still interested send me a PM.

Congratulations on your new books Guy, I always enjoy seeing the results of your handiwork.
You do a great job combining the various components and manufacturers into your vignettes and have a real skill in packing a lot into a small space. Your repainting and blending always improves the presentation too.

Good morning Guy,
Allow me to add my own congratulations to those of all our friends here on the publication of your own book of excellent dioramas and displays.
Both Gordon and myself are big 'fans' of your fine work and always look eagerly forward to seeing 'the next one'.
As I have said many times, "A few figures on their own look good...Put them next to a tank or some other vehicle and they look better...Place all of them into a hand-crafted setting and, almost by magic, they actually come alive!"
Very best wishes and once again...Congratulations! Andy & Gordon.
