The ninth title in the AK Learning series deals with buildings – the thing that takes up most of a diorama and gives away most about how carefully the modeller worked. Specialists from around the world explain what tools and materials they use and how they work with them so the result reads as a real structure in scale. The book covers construction materials, historical periods and the condition of the building, from well-kept to shot to pieces. 88 pages, English and Spanish.

Frequently asked questions
What language is the guide in?
Bilingual, English and Spanish.
Is it about scratch-building or finishing kits?
Mainly scratch-building from raw material – plaster parts, plastic and card profiles. The surface and weathering sequences work just as well on a ready-made kit, though.
What periods does it cover?
The weight is on twentieth-century European structures, the ones that appear most often on military dioramas. The brick, render and timber techniques are period-independent.
