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. Creating a Military Modelling Diorama provides step-by-step instructions on
how to plan, design and build a diorama and is suitable for new and more experienced modellers.

With more than 270 colour photographs, this new book from Terry Booker 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. The book 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.

Arvustused

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 *

Terry Booker is normally associated with the world of model railways, be he has an equally long-term interest in military modelling. He is a regular exhibitor at local shows, and hope that this book is as much inspirational as it is instructional. This is his fourth book for Crowood.
