Book Description

March 1, 2011

The landscape through which railways run is often the inspiration and reason why people choose to model a particular line.  Therefore creating a realistic setting in which to operate your railway is an essential aspect of modeling, yet it is often overlooked or left until the last moment.  Creating authentic and believable scenery without spending a fortune or buying it 'ready made' is a skill that, with patience and understanding, can be achieved. In Creating Realistic Landscapes for Model Railways, highly skilled landscape modeler Tony Hill shows you, through step-by-step photo sequences and clear instructions, how you too can re-create a realistic landscape for your model railway.
