Description

This is the sixth issue in a series of Scale Modelling Manuals, offering lots of information about painting and general modelling techniques for all modellers at a competitive price.

Up to now each manual covered a specific topic in detail, and offered a lot of different approaches and techniques which, in most cases, were written by one author. Contents are carefully selected and presented so that every reader should find something new to try and to adapt to their own methods.

Each book features high quality photos and a detailed text so readers can easily follow the progress of the assembly and painting of each subject, and assist in adopting new modelling techniques and different approaches.

In previous editions the length of each theme was limited due to the number of pages taken for other features, but now there are no such limitations, no omissions or unanswered questions.

Depending on the theme and content, real painted colour chips of the hues and mixes have been added with information on how to use them.

This series will offer various modelling aspects, from Historic and Fantasy, Scale Models, Dioramas, Vignettes, Figures and Busts along with Painting and Modelling Techniques… Plus some historic subjects you can model.

This time Master Artist Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth explains in detail how he painted the Young Miniatures Bust (ref: YM1864) of a 1/10th scale British Paratrooper of World War Two wearing a camouflage Denison Smock.

The artist used a combination of airbrush and paintbrush to get the most of each tool in 46 detailed step-by-step photographs with explanatory captions, as part of an overall total of 56 illustrations revealing all the secrets on how Ernesto painted the flesh (14 photos); the helmet and chin strap (8 photos); the camouflage pattern and equipment (24 photos); to get a realistic result. The artist used a combination of acrylic paints (some of them metallic) and acrylic inks. See how he managed to represent realistic flesh tones, the camouflage net, fabric, canvas, metals and much more…
