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.
