Böcker av Terry Booker

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.

Many railway modellers include an engine shed somewhere on their layout. However, all too often the shed is squeezed into a quite improbable location and is little more than a place to 'park' engines when they are not in use. This title helps the beginner to develop a realistic approach and to capture the atmosphere of the locomotive shed.
