I prepare to publish my first how to build diorama book on middle of June 2013. Many friends and customer asked me to do this how to book for a long time and now I can finish it and publish to the market on next month. If any suggests or comments are welcome. Thank you to all friends.

Very nice, I'm glad you decided to do something like this. Can you tell me how much is the book and will it be available as ebook as well?

Mario

Cool, would be quite interested to see what might be in, your works look awesome!

It looks very good indeed but please let someone help you with the English text. It would be a pity to publish the book with akward spelling and/or text.

Best of luck !

Luk

Very nice and congratulations, Prasert! In terms of suggestions, I cannot really give you much, as I have not seen the contents of the book. But, you might want to double check the spelling (for instance, TECHNIC is correctly spelled TECHNIQUE). Also, the punctuation needs some work (put a comma wherever you're listing different items - model trees, model palm trees, ground texture).
Overall, it looks quite good.
What would be the selling price?
Good luck!

Thank you for doing this book.I'll buy one.

Many many thanks for every suggests from all friends.
Maki:The calculate for one book is about 5 US.$ per each copy.
Sonny:Thanks so much friend.
Luke:Your suggest is very important for me. I already ask one of my friend who can translate and rewrite from Thai to English. He can do this nicely for English version. For me just write in Thai version only.
Sebastian:Thanks so much for your suggest too. So sorry to my English that very poor. The price of each copy is US$5.-
Thanks again to every suggests.

The price is really good. I'm looking forward to seeing the book published.

Hi Prasert,
Good for you and the best of luck with it.I tried so many times to convince Adam Lehmann with his "That Aussie's in Iraq Diorama, 2006" dio to do the same.As others have mentioned you really have to pay attention to the translation.I work for a company that imports ready to assemble furniture and so on from manufacturers in China and Viet Nam and we constantly have to edit the instructions for english translation.

Tom

Thanks so much Mike. I keep one copy for you surely.

Thanks for your suggest Tom.

Pre-congratulations Prasert, and a thank you for sharing your techniques in what appears to be a very affordable volume. Looks like you will be covering a lot of ground (no pun intended) in this volume, looking forward to the finished product. Keep us informed, please!

Thanks so much James. I shall inform to you again after complete the book.

Congratulations Prasert. Great idea with the book ... many will interested in this. Let us know when its ready.

Beautiful work! I love how you chose to model individual trees as their own little diorama islands, which of course is what they often are. Great!

Might as well put me down for one.

Prasert,
I also would like to buy a copy of your book when it is avaible. I have follwed all of your posts. Good luck with the book.
Tom

Many thanks again to every cheer from all fiends here.
Dave & Tom :Thank you to yours interested and I keep booking two for both of you.

Book looks great, please put me down for one as well. Best of luck with the project.

I too want to pick up a copy!

And I can't agree enough with LuckyLuke - get someone to help you with the English translation! It's a CRUCIAL step in the process. I've recently picked up several *almost* wonderful books - beautiful pictures, smart instruction, and amazing techniques... but written in English that was almost impossible to really use to learn from.

I would suggest a two step process:

1. Have someone translate from Thai to English
2. Have a native English speaker, and someone with editing skills, proofread and edit the translation.

Have these two tasks be performed by TWO DIFFERENT people. Often I see English translations (like the couple books I was referencing above) get translated, and the English is not "wrong", but it's not quite right either. With someone other than the translator doing the editing, it can put a clarifying polish on it that you don't want every one of your readers struggling to do.

And yes, I'm more than happy to volunteer. Message me directly
