The Encyclopedia of Military Modeling
For many years military modelers have been waiting for a detailed encyclopedia embracing all aspects of their favorite hobby and this superbly illustrated book will not disappoint them. It will be enjoyed by modelers of all ages, skills and interests, for within its 192 pages it contains something for everyone: from making model soldiers and soft-skin vehicles to scratch-building tanks and artillery pieces.
Vic Smeed has gathered together an experienced team of internationally known modelers and military historians, each writing on the subject he knows best. containing more than 240 outstanding full-color illustrations, the majority specially commissioned for the book, it begins with an introduction which sets the scene and gives a brief history of modeling; this is followed by a survey of
the most popular periods outlining the major characteristics from the modeling point of view and giving helpful advice on problems and research. Next come chapters on basic modeling and how to put together simple kits (very helpful for beginners); single figure modeling; weapons, equipment and horses; soft-skin
vehicles; armored fighting vehicles; artillery; and finally dioramas and display
This excellent reference work is packed with helpful, practical information on
how to develop and improve your modeling skills. If you have always wanted to make lifelike replicas, which are increasingly recognized as an art form in their own right, this is the book for you.
