"Any miniature wargame is greatly enhanced by realistic and evocative scenery and buildings, but commercial ready-made pieces can be expensive. Building your own can be a cost-effective and very rewarding alternative, another hobby in itself, but it can be hard to know where to start. Wargames Terrain and Buildings is a series of books aimed at giving wargamers the skills, techniques and guidance they need to create their own stunning and practical model buildings.

In this volume, master modeler Tony Hardwood shares his years of experience and presents the reader with a wide range of projects for the Napoleonic era. With the aid of step-by-step photographs, he guides the reader through building and finishing each of these models, which are organised in three sections of increasing complexity and encompass a range of scales and different materials…."

Be aware – it's not published for at least a couple of months.

As the author I can confirm that the book is currently at the printers. The book has taken a little longer than expected to get through the editing process, but it is coming.

Looks interesting! Anything in there on fortifications?

"Anything in there on fortifications?"

No – mainly buildings.

Ah, that's an opportunity for the next volume: how do you build permanent and semi-permanent fortifications- not just bastions, curtains, and terreplein, but that whole fascinating (and confusing) welter of contre-scarpes, glacis, covered way, and ditches. I can promise you one buyer!

You thinking somebody has that covered, Tango?

I have produced one magazine article detailing the building of a Russian Redoubt. For details see this link

Is this the sort of thing you were thinking about?

There are severe doubts that any Borodino redoubts had gabions. Neither time not tools to do.

Certainly beautiful work, and interesting, but I was thinking more of the large, permanent fortifications that played such a role in Spain and elsewhere- both sieges and Escalades, such as Bergen Op Zoom. Probably a niche interest, though.

Looks interesting

The redoubt model is beautiful but I am not sure about block trail cannon and loose shot lying around for this period.

Best wishes for the book.
