A new book from Canfora Design & Publishing “The Nordic Edge Model Gallery” showcases the work of Scandinavian modellers. With a foreword from Anthony Greenland (of Panzer Modelling Master class fame) and featuring the work of Ulf Andersson, Mirko Bayerl, Per-Olav Lund and many other Nordic Modellers this is sure to be of interest to armour modellers everywhere.

I have long been a fan of Per Olav Lund’s dioramas, Mirko Bayerl’s and Ulf Andersson’s armour models so I’m really pleased that this book is being published with the idea of introducing their work and others to a wider audience. Containing 148 pages and 300 photos the book covers historical articles, armour, figures, dioramas and vignettes. Rather than covering every step in the building process each chapter shows the inspiration and research that went into each project.
Some examples from the book are:

Mirko Bayerl explains his Modeling Triangle

The Russian Swing Factor- an article on modeling Russian Tanks by Ulf Andersson

Beached Whale –Per Olav Lund shows how he made his WW1 downed aircraft diorama

As I said earlier this doesn’t seem to be a “how to” or SBS book but rather a showcase for the Nordic style of modelling.
