Great book, excellent photos and artwork. It's always difficult to present stuff on something that's been around for many years so congrats to Nick Stroud for doing just that. It was certainly worth the wait. Although there's only 120 pages, this book is a gem - beautifully written, fine binding, with copious photographs and a set of truly superb artwork. Yes, there's quite a few books about the Viscount but this is, in my opinion, the very best. A real treasure.

This popular series is aimed primarily at model makers and engineers but it contains first class illustration and a very effective text overview of the Jagdpanther. This new book covers the development, on the Panther chassis, of a very effective tank destroyer – Highly Recommended.

Each of the historical sections are well illustrated with archive photos, all well captioned, and provide some useful references for the modellers as well as the Panzer historian.

If I may borrow a phrase from the late Sir Bruce Forsyth, 'this is my favourite'. Good value for money for the Churchill tank modeller, well done Dennis.

Very much a modellers book that tied in so well with the details of the tank and the context of the history surrounding it. Good value and well worth adding to your reference shelf.

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...
