Creating a Military Modelling Diorama cover

Creating a diorama offers modellers a chance to display their figures and vehicles in a realistic setting, often providing a ‘snapshot’ of a moment in history. This book provides step-by-step instructions on how to plan, design and build a diorama and is suitable for new and more experienced modellers. With over 270 colour photographs, it considers all scales from 1/87 (H0) to 1/32   and their implications for the diorama builder. The importance of research to ensure historical accuracy is emphasized. Advice is given on the creation of dioramas in different scales and sizes. It demonstrates the techniques required to achieve effective results for landscapes, terrain and vegetation. Finally, examples are included from the Napoleonic Wars, American Civil War, World War I and World War II.

This book is a very useful primer on producing dioramas, both as a guide to new modellers and a source of guidance to the more experienced ones. It is thoroughly recommended. -- Dave Berryman, reviewer IPMS UK * International Plastic Modelling Society UK *
