This Panther Medium Tank is part of the intriguing Tank Craft series designed both for those into history and those who like to build models. There are also great diagrams of the tanks in various livery to suit the environment of the battle, but these are aimed more at the model maker. Another great book written to another high standard and highly recommended.

The Humvee was a Cold War design, and rather like the British Land Rover (covered by Ben in another of the LandCraft books) it struggled in terms of protection when faced by the challenges of more irregular warfare in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. That has led to the more recent attention towards Mine Protected Patrol vehicles, but that shouldn't detract from the valuable contribution that the Humvee has made to the US military over many years, and how it offers so much variety for modellers. Another helpful addition to the LandCraft series for modellers especially.

I have been modelling, particularly in small scale, for over 50 years but I am always looking to learn new ideas and there are plenty of useful tips and techniques in here that I will certainly be trying out. I like this one, and especially for wargamers wanting to paint a collection of figures en masse, then this is a very useful reference to have on your reference bookshelf.

Ship Dioramas
This book is about the art of displaying waterline models. By their very nature, ship models that do not show the full hull and are not mounted on an artificial stand cry out for a realistic setting. At its most basic this can be just a representation of the sea itself, but to give the model a context – even to tell some sort of story – is far… Read more...
