Hello everyone,
I am pleased to inform you that Scale Model Handbook, Figure Modelling 13 IS OUT!

This is the 13th book in the Scale Model Handbook series, again presenting lots of information, techniques and tips about modelling miniature figures. This time we have nine articles from eight well-known artists.

Once again our contributors share their techniques for sculpting and painting their masterpieces and we welcome four new ones, who are already established artists, to this edition - Daniel Milosevich, Juanma Vergara, Isaac Jaramillo Sama and Anders Heintz.

Anders Heintz’s “42nd Regiment of Foot at Quatre Bras 1815” is an awesome scratch-built vignette that contains unbelievable movement and detail. Anders reveals his secrets for sculpting and painting.

Javier González (Arsies) returns with a Face Tutorial in 54mm and Ioannis Tsiktsiris paints the bust of a Spartan.Kazufumi Tomori painted the SS Squad Leader, sculpted by the well know master modeller Mike Good that’s featured on our cover. Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth wove his magic once again, painting the 10th Tennessee Flag Bearer and the WWII British SAS Trooper, both Box Art masterpieces.

We would like to thank all of our contributors for their support and sharing their secrets with us, and special thanks must go to Pietro Balloni, Luca Marchetti, Alex Vallejo, Alexey Lucanev, Jon Page, Darren Parker-Mead and Ken Jones.

From all of us at Mr Black Publications thanks must go out to all of our regular readers for their support to our modelling books, and we’re sure that you’ll enjoy this one, the latest in our series of Scale Model Handbooks.
