Society member Derek Bidwell is a professional modelmaker. In this book he reveals the techniques he has developed over his lifetime for the construction oftrue-to-life historic buildings. His methods can be used in all scales, and for all forms of model building, whether they be for part of a model railway, warfare diorama or even doll's houses!

He lovingly describes how he models brick, stone and wooden structures, how he makes their windows and roofs and finally how he adds such intricate details as interior decoration or opening doors and windows.

This book is essential reading for all those wanting to construct high quality model buildings.
