Mr. Black Publications: Theme Collection - VOL 11 WWII Military Forces in 1/35th Scale

Mr. Black Publications: Theme Collection - VOL 11 WWII Military Forces in 1/35th Scale

This is the 11th "Theme Collections" title in the new and ongoing series that draws upon previously published articles from our Scale Model Handbook Figure Modelling Editions to produce a Special Editions Collection book where the content is dedicated to a specific category or period.

In this latest edition we've gathered 14 themes on World War Two conflicts, all 1/35 scale (50mm), which have a popular following amongst the miniature figure modelling fraternity. The artists used acrylics, enamels and oil colors in their articles, so here the modeler will find a variety of mediums on how to paint and finish favorite World War Two subjects.

Future titles in this new series will offer carefully chosen articles, grouped together into specific themes. The books are produced using a high-quality digital printing process giving excellent quality illustrations on 300g matt laminated velvet paper for the covers, with 150g velvet paper inside, all 'perfect bound' with a special glue!

As always, thanks must go to all our contributors for their support and for sharing their secrets with us. Special thanks are due to Pietro Balloni, Luca Marchetti, Alex Vallejo, Fernando Vallejo, Alessandro Balbo, Rolando Iezzi, Darren Parker-Mead, Man Jin Kim, Taesung Harmms, Andrew Cairns, Young B. Song, Dae-Hyeong Kim, Ju Won Jung, Paul Ondeck, Yannis Papadopoulos and Ken Jones our English Text Editor. We hope you'll enjoy our latest edition! Stelios Demiras Editor/Publisher
