“For the modeller and wargamer . . . looking for something more
when recreating their battles in a table-top game or exhibiting their
work.” —José Manuél Rico Cortés (“Mister JM”), Miniaturas
JM Like a good general, a good wargamer should have an eye for the
ground. Just as the nature of the battlefield plays a central role in
real warfare, so miniature wargames are greatly enhanced by realistic
terrain. Besides, when you’ve spent hundreds of hours collecting and
painting your miniature armies, they surely deserve ground worth
fighting for. Master terrain modeler Paul Davies takes the reader
through the process of creating a visually appealing yet practical
terrain system. First the techniques of making the basic landscape are
explained, then a series of projects show how this can be adapted to
suit different periods or geographic locations, from European farmland
to Sudanese desert. There are then detailed chapters on adding
vegetation, buildings, roadways, trench systems, and more. The clear,
step-by-step instructions are clearly illustrated by numerous
specially-taken photographs of the work in progress and Paul’s
inspirational finished pieces. “Takes the reader through the
process of creating a visually appealing yet practical terrain over
which miniature battles may be fought . . . The book should be well
received by wargamers and diorama builders alike. Recommended.”
—Military Modelling “Inspiring . . . It’s the detailed
‘build projects’ and the huge number of images that really serve
to make this book such a valuable resource for those who don’t quite
know where to start, or those who would like some inspiration and
guidance to serve as a catalyst for their own research and modelling
projects.” —Tabletop Gaming
