One of the more difficult aspects of dioramas, is to convincingly model water. In this new book, by the publishers of the quarterly magazine Xtreme Modelling, some interesting solutions should be available.

Elements in combat #1 — Water under Modelling is the first in a NEW series of themed modeling books produced by the publishers of the very impressive Xtreme Modelling magazine.

The A4 book consists of 96 pages which feature a variety of projects by some very well-known modelers. The book is divided into four sub-sections - Seas, Swamps, and Puddles with an addendum on the weathering of a Soviet Submarine. The chapter/subject titles are:

SEAS

Herr Hauptman’s Champagne - Rhodes Williams
Ducks on the water - Domingo Ruiz

SWAMPS

The Swamp Thing - José A. Azorín
Making water with transparent resin - Javier Soler
Calm waters - Ignacio del Corral

PUDDLES

Panther G Späte - Javier Redondo
K.O. Wirbelwind - Volker Bembennek

ADDENDUM

Tupolev G5 - Chema Cabrero

Rather than simply a presentation of finished projects, the book covers (using step-by-step images) the construction of these dios.

The book is available directly (at the moment) from the publisher at a price of €21.95
