The author does a wonderful job demonstrating techniques and products. The list of products used is very helpful, but somewhat limited, in that a major portion of what the author uses is available only in the UK. When trying some of the stores that he recommended,I was not able to find either the product or the company that originally created the product. This can be very frustrating when you are trying to come up with just the right product to create the effect that you want on your diorama. Other than that the directions were clear and concise and amply illustrated.

Book well written, concise, good for new and old modellers. Good quality pics. Would have liked to see more diorama designs.

Advanced Terrain Modelling provides a survey of the ideas and techniques for creating miniature landscapes and comes from an author whose works are displayed in British and European museums alike. His descriptions of materials and layout tips can be applied to all kinds of model layout, both military and civilian in subject, and pairs close-up color photos with the author's descriptions of how he built each landscape, and the special challenges involved. An intriguing survey, this would be a perfect addition to any collection appealing to hobbyists.

Looking at the pictures on the cover (where the best models are expected to be featured) leaves one in no doubt that the work here is of pedestrian quality, not deserving of 5 stars.
The author had a similar book on Terrain Modelling Masterclass by the same publisher where I have also noted that the quality is also 3 star.
Works featured in museums are not a guarantee of absolute quality. Trust your eye.

I was over the moon the note that there was another masterclass terrain modelling book. I've read every letter in the previous one. Now I'm absorbing every page off this new book.

Advanced terrain modelling is exactly what is says: it shows you the most advanced tricks; tells you how to create a live like scene.
There are photo's off the real deal next to the diorama's made for this book.

You just have to love this book!
You have to have it!!

Really amazing this book, everything you want to know is explained with a lot of pictures. One of the best books for hobbyists.
