Laszlo Adoba has announced that Accessories, his 2nd book in the Building Dioramas series, is ready. This 78 page book will cover furniture, bathroom equipment, food and more.
From the publisher:
In the second volume of Building Dioramas, I’m going to present the process of creating everyday objects, some of them being absolutely common, others being less conventional. Recognizing tiny manifestations of things met regularly in real life makes much deeper impression in the viewer than objects seen rarely or never at all during our lives. Dioramas built using familiar accessories will seem much more life-like as the viewer gets involved easily at the very first sight.

The book presents the detailed description of making more than 50 diorama accessories. Pieces of furniture, bathroom equipment, kinds of food and some metal objects take shape in front of the reader in 5 chapters on 78 pages. There are several simple pieces made of common materials, as well as more complex ones that need some special equipment and ingredients. This way beginners may find the book just as helpful as advanced modellers. The text is illustrated with more than 400 colour photos to make building much easier.


An outstanding review of the first release of Building Dioramas, Stone Objects, can be found here:

Any idea if there's a digital version? And any sense of the text quality? Is this another "great pics + google translate" content play?

Jake, I don't believe there is a digital version available, as for the future only Laszlo can answer that As far as the text, you can read some of the content in the photos in both this news report and Todd's review of Stone Objects. I find Laszlo's English, in both the books and his emails, to be excellent. No Google translate here. And as a footnote...I see on the website that if you order this book then Stone Objects is half price...good deal if you want both and have neither!
