Simply Scenery: Insight into the Art of Landscape Modelling

A love affair with the British countryside - in model form. Simply Scenery is the latest in the series of handbooks under the noble aegis of our magazine, Modelling Railways Illustrated. A step by step approach, it is aimed at the beginner and founded on the long experience of 'Treeman' Tony Hill - methods tried and honed in demonstrations at exhibitions over many years. Techniques which started out as tree making blossomed (literally) into elaborate full scenic landscape work so admired today. Up Hill and Down Dale is perhaps an inappropriate description of the contents, given the author's surname, but if the model landscape - hills, valleys, crags, cuttings, dry stone walls, trees, bushes, grass, ditches, ponds, lakes and rivers have until now seemed better left to the creator, this book is for you. Shape your own landscape, with simple straightforward techniques and (often) cheap castoff materials and the mysteries unveiled in Simple Scenery. Modelling Railways Illustrated is available monthly from most newsagents or direct from the publisher.
