Sixx Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 No offense taken, Tony. Advances in building methods over the last 10+ years, and the rapid fllow of that information over the internet, has indeed made much of the book's information obsolete, so I can't blame anybody who's disappointed after spending a ton of money to get a copy. Thanks for the kind words........... Ken Just my 2 cents...I paid out the butt for it, oh well, I still think it's a credible info stash. My wife and I both talked to Ken, what a great guy!! We've been diggin your builds for a long time now. I still gotta get a soldering gun to build my dang shopping cart!!!!! Any more cool things like that comming???

Nitro Neil Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Ok, I'll keep my mouth shut. Love those arcade games you are building. I haven't worked up to buildings and arcade games, I'm still building cars. Working on a little C/Altered right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 The price for the books in unbelievable, but then there's the $50 in shipping. I did manage to find a copy of Ken's book at a reasonable price. Now it's just the Waiting Game until it shows up. I'm hoping that it's a good civilian compliment to Shep Paine's book.

Dr. Cranky Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I whole heartedly agree with Dave Zinn's sentiment on the book. I still get lots of enjoyment (and ideas) out of it. I will always treasure my copy and it's signed for pete's sake! For those of us who know Ken and stay up to date with his Fotki archives, he's been working on The Arcade diorama for a couple of years now and he is thinking of unveiling it at this next NNL East, which is yet another great reason to start planning to attend.

Jim B Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Just got my copy in the mail today!! :) I'm looking forward to reading it. Can't guarantee that I'll produce any decent dioramas, but this should be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Enjoy the eye candy, James. When you finish the book, feel free to pop out your eyes again, by visiting Ken's Fotki Archives where he is working on a new diorama in 1/24th scale titled THE ARCADE. Here's the link" http://public.fotki.com/khamilton/models/playland_penny_arcade/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTMust Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I agree with you 100% Doc. His latest dio work is unbelievable! More great inspiration and ideas for our own projects. Especially that three storey building and the truck.... Oh, what the ****! All of them!!!! If you're reading this Ken....... thanks for posting these progress pictures on Fotki. I'm checking each one with a microscope. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Tony, Ken is a generous builder, friend, and a true inspiration to all of us. He's one of those builders who really likes to feed everyone their daily allowance of eye candy, which is why he keeps his Fotki archives open for all of us to enjoy, so I hope more folks run on over there and check it out.

chebbysteve Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I found Kens book on Amazon for a good price. Just received it, and am enjoying it a lot. Although the info may be a bit dated, Im glad to have it as a reference. Lots of good ideas and great pics, Thanks Ken, and I think your Arcade project is just unbelieveably great.

KHamilton Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Thanks, guys. I do appreciate all the nice comments. For anyone who does have the book, don't hesitate to write if you have any questions about anything (.....except getting a refund..... .....).

Scale.ModelMaker Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi All, It looks like this thread has become a little long in the tooth and I too have looked around for you book Ken and have found the cost way high so thanks for the insight. Can anyone suggest any other pubs for someone new in the realm of dioramas? I have found some sites on the internet but I'm looking for some good beginner helpful hints for diorama building. Thanks John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
