AK BOOK AK297 CONDEMNATION RE-EDITED EDITION (Limited Edition) (168 pages) (English)
RE-EDITED EDITION
Only printed version, no digital.
Today, Human Rights advances achieved over the past decades have been losing ground at an alarming rate.
Society around the world is suffering from excessive racism, pandemics, global warming , and many other social injustices of all kinds.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the United Nations in 1948 shortly after the second world war was a major milestone in the history of the world. It was the first time since the beginning of humanity that the world came to together and recognised the inherent dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human race to a foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.
Over seventy years later with so much discord in the world we must ask ourselves whether the vision of a free and fair world the founders of the charter imagined are
any closer to being achieved then they were all those years ago.
And so it is with a sense of purpose that AK Interactive have launched the most provocative and compelling modelling book ever to be published. A book that we are convinced will stand out as a beacon of hope, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression in the modelling art form.
Condemnation by AK Interactive elevates modelling into an art form that makes a statement to the world by highlighting the social injustices in the world today and reminds the world of the torrid history of terrible events when humanity got it so wrong.
In this book you will find very sensitive dioramas, created by some of the most expressive modelling artists in the world today. Intended as a social criticism but created from our deepest respect to the topics discussed. It is the first publication rated for those over 18 years of age due to the sensitivity of its content. The work has been very difficult. The results, can be judged by yourself.
All of us, the ones who have participated in this book are very proud of having worked on it, the results and the sense of belonging of this unstoppable team of people.

AK BOOK AK914 T-54/T-55 Modeling World's Most Iconic Tank (176 pages) (English)
MiniArt’s first collaboration with AK-Interactive brings as a result this fantastic book backed by the quality and originality of both brands.This book covers the scale models of this iconic tank, and the new MiniArt mod-els, showing 6 extensive and amazing step-by-step articles, and numerous curi-osities of the different versions and evolutions. A book that a modeler can ?t miss even if you are not a fan of this tank.
The T-54 and T-55 are a family of tanks designed in the Soviet Union, descendants of the armored vehicles used during the II WW by this ancient power. The T-55 is sibling of the T-54 which was developed from this with a series of important modifications and that saw the light in 1955. Basically, it is actually an improve-ment of the T-54 which was decided to change its name for some reason, but that retains so much of the initial design that it should have been a T-54 with its bullet corresponding to the revised version. One of the most important improvements offered by the T-54/55 with respect to the old tanks was the incorporation of the 100mm cannon that some units of the T-44 already introduced. The hull is formed by welded plates and the tower is made of cast iron … This is how the best mod-eling book oriented to these iconic tanks begins.
