WW2 Dioramas Bernhard Lustig LIMITED

"WW2 Dioramas" by Bernhard Lustig – Limited Bundle (Available in ENGLISH only!)

In addition to the standard edition of "WW2 Dioramas" by Bernhard Lustig, the Czech publisher Plastic Invasion has released a special edition—a "Limited Bundle" restricted to just 200 copies—to mark the book's launch. At its heart is a 304-page hardcover volume showcasing six of Bernhard’s previously unpublished dioramas, blending his meticulous modeling craftsmanship with the historical events of World War II that inspired each scene.
Original historical photographs introduce the historical context, while detailed step-by-step instructions document the creation of each diorama from the initial build phase to the finished result. The book is being released in separate English and German editions.
Alongside the book—which features a special orange cover—the limited bundle includes an original figure sculpted by John Rosengrant (one of the most renowned names in figure modeling) and two posters featuring illustrations by Ron Volstad and Bernhard Lustig. For decades, Ron Volstad’s distinctive military-historical artwork has accompanied generations of modelers on their journey through military history; his contribution is therefore a particularly fitting addition to this release.

Each of the 200 copies, as well as the accompanying poster, is personally signed by Bernhard.

Contents: Book (English language), signed poster with Volstad art print, and a figure sculpted by John Rosengrant.

PLEASE NOTE: The limited version is available in English only.
