Placing a model in a scene effectively can seem daunting, but this second edition of Scale Modelling Step by Step: Dioramas 2 from the Airfix Model World team approaches the subject from the basics. It starts with the simplest ‘scene in a box’ offerings, before moving to more complex affairs and rounding off with completely scratch-built projects. All aspects, from planning, to the various techniques involved are explained clearly, with the skillsets applicable to all genres of the hobby, regardless of whether you build scale models, wargaming subjects or rail layouts. Projects range from a Thunderbird 2 launch bay to a Panzer IV under repair and a waterborne native American – everything a modeler needs to get those creative juices flowing!
