F.A.Q. Dioramas – by Rubén González
If the previous two book reviews were precise and detailed, but limited to a few models, this is the phone catalogue of dioramas! I mean 559 pages of step by step instructions of each vignette and diorama more impressive than the last, and each subtitle focuses on one detail, arranged into different chapters so you can easily find the reference work you want.
