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.
