The foundational book on building dioramas, vignettes and environments – 560 pages by Rubén González. It works through terrain in all its forms, weather effects such as snow, rain and desert dust, and the materials used for each. It is not a collection of photographs of finished work: it is a manual that says what, with what and in what order. That is why the modelling community reaches for it as a reference whenever a particular kind of terrain comes up. The text is English and Spanish.

Frequently asked questions
What language is the book in?
Bilingual, English and Spanish, both in the same copy.
Is this the same as the 1.2 extension?
No. This is the main volume. The 1.2 extension is a separate, thinner book covering only water, ice and snow, and it builds on this one.
Who is the book for?
Anyone who wants to build a diorama and does not know where to start, and experienced modellers as a reference. Most examples are in 1/35, but the principles hold across scales.
