Introduction

I did not originally intend to make a series of section models, but one model led to another as I thought of a sphere of trench warfare that I had not tackled before. My models are visual explanations of World War I trenches and I have considered carefully what to include within parameters that were set when building my first section model. These educational models can show visually what would take many words to explain. The miniature world has a fascination for many of us and modelmaking is a craft that gives great pleasure to lots of people. I am a modelmaker who enjoys history. I have gathered information about trench warfare from many sources, processing the most important details, and can now consolidate most of that in this one book. I am a perfectionist when it comes to representing details correctly, which means that I try to refine and improve my work wherever possible. Any mistakes in my models bother me terribly, but perfectionism is a blessing and a curse.

I have learnt much from other modelmakers, but I have tried to find easy techniques of my own that should be straightforward to copy. I used to blog about the construction of my models on the Military Modelling Forum until it ceased operations in early 2018. The worldwide attention that my models gained inspired my own website ( https://andybelseymodels.wixsite.com ), and I continue to blog about their construction on the Scale Models Forum and planetFigure. The beauty of the internet is that it connects those with similar passions and I have recently teamed up with Mike (the Kiwi) Butler in New Zealand. I can create intricate detail and sculpt, but Mike has an extraordinary ability with paint and you will find that he has painted and enhanced several figures in this book. Our skill sets combine to the best advantage, and we have fun together while we do it.

My own interest in the Great War started with how it affected my grandparents and their siblings. I inherited a large collection of family memorabilia (mainly paperwork) from World War I and have spent years researching how my family were involved.
