Modelling World War 1 Trench Warfare

Great pictures and well laid out book, no regrets.

When we think of the First World War we picture a landscape disfigured by trenches, craters, mud, confusion and destruction, but those trenches were designed and constructed by engineers to a plan. Andy Belsey takes us on a personal journey detailing the research, techniques and artistry behind the creation of a truly exquisite set of miniatures detailing the construction of those trenches where so many lived and died, written in plain English, the book is appealing not only for the model maker but the scholar, the artist and those with an interest in the subject. The book is underpinned by a long career in professional modelmaking and the author’s extensive research into his own family history. By far the best ‘how to’ book on the subject I’ve read.

Libro imprescindible para todo modelista que este interesado en la Gran Guerra. Recoge en numerosos reportajes los trabajos del autor.

In one handy guide, the author gives you everything you need to know on how to model a WWI trench. Highly recommended.

Well what can I say ! If you ever needed a book on all the skills to reconstruct WW1 trenches this is the one to get . An amazing catalogue of historical authenticity and step by step "how to" tips .Everything from sandbags to corrugated sheeting ,the author shares a wealth of knowledge from both side of the front line . I highly recommend this tome for anyone interested in this period .The details and insights included within its pages are marvellous .
