Summary: The professional and effective way to build dioramas
Comment: Richard Windrow's book is a must if you are seriously interested in terrain modelling. The professional skills on display within make it definitely worth his price.
In my country, the author is known as the artist behind the several magnificient paleolithic and medieval dioramas displayed at the Cantonal Museum of Early History in Zug - in the odd 1:62 scale, which means he had literally to build everything from scratch.
Each chapter of the book is dedicated to a particular scene or technique to model a specific environment in a step-by-step manner. Essential details about how to integrate human figures and vehicles effectively into a diorama are also adressed in the same way, and so are widespread mistakes. By the way, did anyone ever notice how many military dioramas lack any trace of tracks or tires in the mud around vehicles, as if those had fallen right out of the sky ?
Richard Windrow's solutions to this and many other common problems you may run into when building your diorams are simple but effective.
In front of the enormous wealth of details I found it pretty difficult to pick a favorite scene among all those discussed in this book. Perhaps the two most puzzling and therefore not to be missed are the jungle (Indeed, no other seems to have tackled that subject in such a depth before), and the fantastic Sherman Firefly armour diorama.
Rating: 5
Summary: A "must read" for any dioramist or model railroader . . .
Comment: Don't hesistate for a moment to click the "ADD TO SHOPPING CART" button for this one! Windrow's book is excellent! This book will guide you through the construction of just about every scenery element found in dioramas or model railroad platforms. It contains plenty of photographs, step-by-step illustrations, and concise commentary. The chapters devoted to twisted wire armature trees, seasonal scenery, and water effects are extraordinary. 5 Stars . . .
