Review
Mr. Black is back with the 19th edition of their Figure Modelling title, each one looking at the assembly, modifications, painting, and finishing of a variety of figure subjects and scales. Each project provides some unique ideas and insights on how you can replicate each author's results.
The subjects in this issue include:
- Manfred Albrecht Freilherr von Richtofen 'The Red Baron' - 200mm
- Roman Legionary 1st Century AD - 54mm
- British 8th Army in North Africa 1941-1943 - 50mm
- Flankenfeuer Le Bourget 1870 - 120mm
- 'Hell on Wheels' - 2nd US Armored Division - 180mm
- Francois L'Olonnais 1634-1671 - 75mm
- Dwarf Veteran - 200mm
- SS Panzer Crewman - 50mm
Each figure build walks you through a step-by-step process with an associated image to show what the result of each step is supposed to look like. This is helpful for me as I've seen where a step is applied and there are one or more photos but I can't see the difference. While there are several how-to titles on the market for aspiring figure modelers, each subject can be significantly different and having similar builds to examine can make that project easier to master.
Recommended!
