Hi Laszlo!
My friend got the book for an award in Moson. It was some good reading (looking) for the drive home. I'm impressed with the quality of the work and the print. I hope I can get the English version and I recommend the book for anyone else.

I recieved my copy today from Laszlo. I really like this publication, the photos are nicely printed and really informative. The techniques shown seem to be easy an low cost.

Hi
Love building diorama's & usually have to scratchbuild so much myself so this book would come in very handy.
very impressed with the pic's that you have shown so far. Hope to see it on sell here in the UK soon.
Should be a good seller.

Árpád, bajtur:
thank you for the nice words, it's always good to have a positive feedback on your work.

Shaun, CM Sears:
Now it's sure that there will be an english edition, I'm trying to squeeze it for September. We will update the book a bit based on the reaction, but the translation is on the way now and in Mosonmagyaróvár I have made some contacts with potential distributors too. As soon as we have something to show I will put it up to Armorama as the staff were very helpful from the first moment.

Great! Thats just around the time I am going to start my first ever dio (or at least starting to buy what I need). Have been soaking up info about groundwork this last year, will be good to have something comprehensive about buildings without having to buy to much profesional "hardware"

Really looking forward to this!

Hi Pat,

I hope that at the end of May I will be able to send you some fresh materials. The other good news is that we are working on the second volume - about the "mother nature", e.g. trees, vegetation, snow, mud, etc. We want to publish the english and hungarian version at the same time - for Xmas.

I have some WIP pictures for appetizers:

Hi László,

I saw your ad in the back of Claude's new book - could you please post the link to your site here? Any news on the English copy?

Hi, Tarok, sorry for not answering earlyer, but I had been a bit overwhelmed in the past month, hadn't time even to think of modeling - partly because of this book :-).

The book is in the printing house now, will be on the street on 10th December. The link to our site is
www.harvar-d.hu
and visitors can order it there, with a 15% discount till 31 December. The content changed a little, as there were some ads in Hungarian one which went out and additional content came in.

I sent tiday a small set of images to Pat McGrath as he posted the news about the Hungarian one.
