Description

In many ways, modelling figures is the most difficult part of the model maker's art.

If the posture is wrong, if the physical attributes and features aren't lifelike and in the right proportions, or if the clothing and the play of light on the clothing is inaccurate, the figures will look stilted and inhuman. If they are in a diorama, it won't matter how good the rest of the model making is, the effect will be ruined.

The eighth of Osprey's Modelling Manuals provides a masterclass in the art of figure modelling and painting. The work of many talented modellers is shown, identifying how to meet this demanding challenge and produce models of the highest calibre. The meticulous techniques are skilled but simple enough for the amateur modelling enthusiast to learn from and improve their work. Figure modelling of all kinds is explained from adapting existing commercial models to starting from scratch.
About
Having worked in the field of aviation publishing from the late 1960s, Jerry Scutts wrote over 40 books covering a broad spectrum of subject matter ranging from US Navy floatplane fighters in World War 2 to the exploits of the USAF's Phantom IIs over Vietnam. Specialising in the Luftwaffe and the US Army Air Forces in World War 2, Jerry originally appeared on the Osprey list in 1977 when he wrote the second volume in the now much sought after Air Cam Air War series –many of the jacket illustrations in this series were also painted by him. Jerry was a regular contributor to Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series since its inception in 1994. He sadly passed away in 2008.
