NEW
Mr Black Publications Scale Model Handbook Theme Collection. Volume 9
This is the ninth title in the ongoing "Theme Collections" series, but
it’s a title with a difference in that it features all new articles,
published for the first time and all dedicated to painting busts. In
this latest edition we’ve gathered together eight busts as subjects from
various periods of history - Ancient and Medieval Times, The French
Revolution and World War Two and all are painted by talented Master
Artists. The first article is a Medieval Crossbowman by Sergey
Popovichenko who explains in detail how to begin working with miniature
busts. Sergey offers 57 photos to cover the necessary information that
modellers of all skill levels can follow to produce a successful result.
He also shows how to accomplish the best possible end result following
his step-by-step painting sequences of mixed media techniques with
acrylics and oils. The second feature is by well-known master artist
James Rice and dedicated to a bust of the French Revolution period where
he explains how to adopt the Verdaccio undercoat technique specifically
to busts. There are 39 photos illustrating this feature, which are more
than enough and where everyone can follow James’ step-by-step painting
techniques using acrylics and oils. Louis D’ Orio a master of oil
painting miniatures returns with a dual bust painting feature from
Ancient times using his method of oil painting techniques. A detailed
text accompanies the excellent quality photos of Dienekes and Hydarnes.
Joachim Peiper, a German SS officer from WW2 is next, painted by the
well-known master artist Christos Katselos. Christos gives some in-depth
information for eyes and face painting with more than 20 step-by-step
photos. All areas of the bust have detailed paint mixes and details on
how to apply them. Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth, another of our regular
contributors, offers two WW2 subjects; RAF Bomber Command aircrew and a
German Fallschirmjäger Feldgendarmerie with his master class method of
painting. He explains everything in his detailed text and all the
painting mixes are included so readers can easily paint their own
versions. The seventh article is a Soviet RKKA Scout painted by
Toshihiro Sano using Tamiya Enamels. This four-page article is an
excellent reference for painting the Soviet Leaf Pattern camouflage.
Well-known master artist Eduardo Fernandez Rodriguez contributes an
eight-page article on painting a Soviet Partisan bust. He explains how
to paint flesh, leather, fur skin, wood, metals and much more with
acrylics.
