Great, more money I didn't know I needed to spend! But then I do have a b-day coming up in the not too distant future.

cool. I saw one of those models that won the IPMS open in Stockholm about a year or two ago.. They now have it displayed at Wentzel hobby store in Stockholm. For those in the Stockholm area, drop in and look at it in the display. Unfortunately I do not know the name of the model but it is the one with the wounded soldier about to put a magnetic explosive under a tank as it goes over a ditch. Very nice to see it in person.
I wish to be as good as these guys one day.

Thanks for posting the news report Pat. Its great to see this book and its great to see Scandanavian modellers getting some deserved exposure. Having seen most of the work from this book "in the flesh" it has a great personal sentiment. I´ll be picking up this book very shortly.

Hi Charles ... there are at least 4 of the finished pieces from this book, on display in Wentzels at the moment! Its always a pleasure to see these works ... and no matter how many times I see Mirko´s work, I still stop to admire it and study his techniques a little!
Will you be coming down to Stockholm for the Open this year?

Pat,

Thanks for the info ! This books looks really cool with some stunning dioramas ! Does they share a bit of their techniques in the book ?
I wish to purchase the book, but unfortunately, the link you put doesn't work and I didn't find the website on google.
Could you fix it ?
Thanks
Julien

Sorry about that. For the moment use the link under the Canfora logo at the top of the article (- I'm dashing off to drug rehab(I work there ) so I'll fix the other link later

EDIT: LINK should be working now
