Hi Calvin,
Yup, you've just posted on one
Have a look through both Armorama and Historicus Forma's Features sections, you'll find plenty of SBS's there. Is there anything in particular you're wanting to know? Or just diorama modelling in general?
Also, have a look out for Shep Paine's Modelling Dioramas book (can't remember the full name). Alternatively Richard Windrow (I think that's the name) does 2 books for Osprey which are pretty good - he predominantly uses Woodland Scenics products which (although this draws a fair amount of criticism by the pro's on the forums) is available in virtually all LHS's wherever you go which makes it easier for beginners like you and me.
