Book Description

April 2001
Soft Cover
36 Pages
100+ Full color photographs

This new book proudly displays a selection of eight different military dioramas by master modeler Greg Cihlar. Greg is renowned for his exceptional skills at painting, weathering, groundwork, and composition, and has won numerous awards for his dioramas at various prestigious model shows around the U.S. Although his work has been published many times before, this is the first book dedicated solely to his work alone. The themes of his works in this book, all from WWII, include a captured U.S. M8 “Greyhound”, a German King Tiger broken down under a bombed out rail bridge, a Sturmtiger in action during the Warsaw uprising, German street fighters taking cover behind a knocked out half-track, a Jagdpanther in a defensive position from a bombed-out German factory, a spectacular multi-leveled diorama of a Berlin sewer, a converted SdKfz 251 half track rescuing a G.I in Holland, and an awesome 1:16 scale King Tiger diorama. This book is packed with beautiful photographs of some of the best modeling around, and is sure to inspire and educate modelers and non modelers alike.

3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre Book, June 10, 2001

This review is from: Greg Cihlar's Fabulous Military Dioramas (Paperback)
Greg Cihlar's Fabulous Military Diorama's is a suprisingly average publication. What you get with the book is bright, fancy color pictures, but very little substance. There is little detail on the planning of the diorama's and the actual steps involved in making the diorama's.

In a nutshell, the book is a advertisement for Verlinden Products.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding work, July 20, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Greg Cihlar's Fabulous Military Dioramas (Paperback)
I'm giving this book "5" stars because of who the modeler is, but I thought more detail on the planning of Greg's dioramas and the actual steps involved in making his dioramas should have been published; this information would have been very helpful to me and other master modelers. Greg Cihlar's work is the most impressive I've ever seen. Greg is exceptional in his craft. His skin tones are the best I've ever seen where many modelers skin tones are yellow or orange. His weathering is excellent. His composition and groundwork are outstanding. The balance of his dioramas is very well thought through. Greg has a very special talent and I hope he goes very far with his craft.

First Sentence:
Greg wanted to build Tamiya's M8 "Greyhound" using all of the VP update sets for it, so he needed a scene that would showoff all of those details in a natural configuration. Read the first page
