DioraMag is well known to discerning modellers. It is a unique magazine focused on dioramas and famous scenes from new and well-known modellers from all around the world. Inside the pages, you will find the best articles of the best modellers and writers in the world. Step-by-step articles, painting techniques, building techniques, showcases, news, reviews, and much more.
This issue provides detailed explanations through numerous process photographs, depicting the Battle of Anzio-Nettuno in Italy with a focus on the advancing American M5 Stuart light tanks and the surrendering German Panzer IV Brummberger. It also features many dioramas, including the large-scale diorama "The Americans!" by Fabio Marini, which is also featured on the cover.
Issue 18 showcases a wide variety of dioramas, including a product review [Memories of White Walls] that unfolds the facade of a VG model, a unique work by Thanarat Luangwan themed on a sidecar being serviced in a private barn [Gallery Dioramag], Michael Wolff's [Enchanted Landscape], a simple yet deeply persuasive work of grass, fences and bicycles, a diorama [Rhine Race] of a Dodge WC54 ambulance depicting American troops and civilians operating on the Western Front, a maritime diorama depicting the landing operation of the US Navy's composite rubber boat [RIB Boat], a diorama [Size Matters] of a Churchill Mk.III AVRE engineer tank taking over a concrete pillbox, [Plague], which recreates a medieval town ravaged by the Black Death, and [Ruined Factory], which depicts an abandoned factory overgrown with vegetation and trying to return to nature.
Please take a look at these wonderful examples and use them as a starting point to take your diorama creations to the next level.
