Overview

This book is aimed at assisting those new or unfamiliar with historical figure modelling and wargaming by providing them with a range of simple tips and techniques to assist them in putting together good looking collections using methods that won't take an age. Covered in this book are an introduction to the majority of tools and materials commonly found in modelling, before moving on to cover clear, concise guides for painting British, American and Canadian forces, along with notes on the uniforms of the Free forces from occupied nations. The guides cover all the common variations of uniform used during the period, including British and Canadian Battledress, Airborne forces uniforms, and the American M43 uniform, as well as when these uniforms were worn and introduced. Camouflage uniforms are also covered, and are broken down into how to apply the various patterns simply and with easy-to-repeat methods. Illustrated with hundreds of photos, each stage of the guides has a combination of text description, photograph and list of both paint and brush size used to make the steps as easy to follow as possible. AUTHOR: Andy Singleton has been modelling and painting since childhood, having built subjects across a broad range of subjects, scales and genres. In 2014, Andy decided to stop having a proper job and picked up his brushes full time to become professional figure painter, with his business Volley Fire Painting Service. In addition to painting legions of figures, he has worked with many manufacturers across the industry and examples of his work can be found in many rule books, magazines and websites. Andy is also a co-host on the podcast 'A Few Brits and the Hobby'. 200 colour illustrations

I readily encourage anyone who does World War II on the tabletop in any scale, but especially 15mm and up, to get this book. --Jason Weiser Military Miniature ...an impressive book that should easily fulfill the author's purpose of introducing modelers new to historical figure modeling and wargame figure painting, and expanding the knowledge base of those already involved. The level of historical detail the author provides is appreciable, and the examples and explanations of the processes are excellent. -- Armorama ...a good book on the subject of figure painting... -- AMPS Indianapolis
