Osprey Modelling Masterclass : Modelling Masterclass Terrain Modelling

Designed to help modellers who wish to display the results of their efforts to the best advantage in a diorama providing detailed information on how to create many different types of terrain throughout the seasons of the year and to show the effects of rain, snow, mud, fire etc. It explains the need to pre-plan the diorama to allow for such things as streams, foxholes, gullies and shell holes. Paints, glues, tools and materials that will be of help to the modeller are all listed. A range of materials are illustrated, in most cases with details of how they can be obtained both in Europe and the USA. All of the above is illustrated with some 200 photographs, both step-by-step and finished dioramas. Written by a master of diorama modelling, Richard Windrow, this book provides the essential and invaluable guide to the materials and techniques needed to create top quality terrain for anywhere from Ancient Rome to the Western Front.
