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.
