This fifth volume in Verlindens popular SHOWCASE series is a special edition featuring the unsettling realism of the dioramas of German artist Andreas Nossmann. This modeler, who plies his trade as a self-employed artist, has developed an uncanny ability to bring his models to life in his dioramas. Six fully executed dioramas and one chilling vignette featuring a 200mm figure conversion grace the pages of this book with stunning detail and realism. Nomann is an inspiring artist that has been granted the acknowledgement he deserves through this fine book, which belongs in the collection of every scale modeler and artist.

Mind blowing realism,
By
This review is from: Verlinden's Showcase No. 5 (Paperback)
The six dioramas in this book are stunning in their depiction of scenes from World War II. The level of detail and weathering are superb, and the effort Mr Nossmann put in his work is evident throughout. I am an avid modeller and am always looking for inspiration in my projects, and the dioramas pictured in this book are very inspiring indeed. The armor and figure modelling are both first class, with incredible realism in the foliage, equipment, and individuals. Truly a must have for modellers who enjoy looking at well-built models, but be forewarned this book does not show the techniques, only pictures of the finished project. Nevertheless, I consider this an excellent addition to any WW II buff's or modeller's library.

Simply Stunning,

Wow.
I've not done any plastic modeling in years, yet I still couldn't wait to crack open this incredible book. Like all the Verlinden books, the only problem is that they're too short! (And if they were a 1000 pages they'd still be too short!)
