Any miniature wargame is greatly enhanced by realistic and
evocative scenery and buildings, but commercial ready-made pieces
can be expensive. Building your own can be a cost-effective and
very rewarding alternative, another hobby in itself, but it can be
hard to know where to start. Wargames Terrain and Buildings is a
series of books aimed at giving wargamers the skills, techniques
and guidance they need to create their own stunning and practical
model buildings. In this volume, master modeller Tony Hardwood
shares his years of experience and presents the reader with a wide
range of projects for the Napoleonic era. With the aid of
step-by-step photographs, he guides the reader through building and
finishing each of these models, which are organized in three
sections of increasing complexity and encompass a range of scales
and different materials. Nine projects are included but the
techniques and skills demonstrated along the way, along with
valuable advice on tools, construction materials and paints, can be
adapted and applied to a much wider range of structures to grace
your battlefields.
