Author Biography
Bjørn Jacobsen lives with his wife in a small seaside town in Norway. He has worked in advertising and marketing and had his own company for many years until he retired in 2004. He has always been fascinated by aircraft and built his first model of a World War 2 aircraft in 1957, 15 years old. Since then he has made numerous models, mostly WWII planes, but also a few dioramas. After years of modelling, he found it more and more rewarding and challenging to make dioramas, because it requires not only modelling skills but also a sense of realism and a lot of research and scratch building to get it as realistic as possible. It also gives him the opportunity to let the models tell their story - and a story, they always have. For years, he has posted his work to the many model groups around the world and he often has been asked to publish some of his amazing work. He has now taken those requests seriously and has written this book. His hope is that his models and dioramas might inspire some to try out this exciting hobby.
