Morning lads. dug up a book, mid nineties, from the Verlinden collection re dioramas produced by a German modeller Andreas Nossman. Have to say that I have yet to find anything that has superceded (some look to be about equal in stature!) his attention to detail in figure painting and diorama layout. (Ok, helps that he is [was?] actually an accomplished artist...) Is anyone famil with his work? Is his work still going on around the traps? Fair dinkum, the detail this bloke could put into faces was (is?) amazing!!

Yes... I know of Andreas... he does fine work! But my all-time "guru" is still Bob Letterman... you want to see detail? Go take a look at his famous diorama "Legacy".... it is both stunning and breath-taking!

Don't think I'm a big project kinda bloke... Thanks for the eye opener lads... Seen "Was Nun?" in this book I have. More my kinda size methinks...
