SCALE MODELLING MANUAL VOLUME 15

Scale Modelling Manual Vol.15

This is the 15th Modelling Manual in our now well-established series about scale modelling, where our aim is to bring a lot of concentrated information about painting and general modelling techniques for all modellers at a competitive retail price.

Each manual offers a detailed approach to a specific topic, offering a lot of different approaches and techniques and, in most cases, is written by one author. The contents will be carefully selected and presented in a way that all readers should find something new to try and to adapt to their own methods. Each book will have high quality photos and a detailed text, so the reader can easily follow the progress of the assembly and painting of each theme, and help to adopt 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 content, but here there are no such limitations. Each theme will be presented in a most detailed and explanatory manner so there will be no omissions or unanswered questions.

Depending on the themes and contents, real painted colour chips of hues and mixes will be added with information on how to use them. In this series we will include various modelling aspects from Historic and Fantasy, Scale Models, Dioramas, Vignettes, Figures, Busts, Techniques and History You Can Model.

In this issue we’ll cover the detailed painting process of a large (almost half figure), complicated 1/10 scale fantasy bust from the well-known company Black Crow Miniatures. The master artist Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth explains in 24 pages, his painting process that includes how to use paintbrushes, the airbrush and a wet palette. All these are covered in 65 step-by-step large format illustrations that reveal all the techniques, tips, and effects on how to succeed in producing an award-winning creation of a complicated fantasy bust.

We must thank the following: Vallejo Acrylics (Alex Vallejo and Jaume Ortiz Forns), Scale75 (Jose Mendez), Kimera Kolors (Luca Marchetti and Pietro Balloni), Lifecolor (Alessandro Balbo and Rolando Iezzi), Yannis Papadopoulos and our English Text Editor Ken Jones.

Special thanks must go to Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth who provided us with all the necessary material so this book could be released as a perfect painting manual.
