The first book to address the subject of German paratroopers for the figure modeller, this detailed guide covers painting, superdetailing, and conversion techniques from simple to advanced.
Clear step-by-step instructions allow the reader to recreate realistic figures in miniature scale with confidence and ease. Among the tutorials covered in this book are face painting, creating complex camouflage patterns, weathering clothing, and figure conversion techniques, as well as vignette and diorama settings for your figures (creating groundwork and balancing composition). The major items of Fallschirmjäger uniform and equipment are covered, with an emphasis on specially designed paratrooper items.
The projects featured range from single-figure studies to full-scale dioramas, covering all the major periods and theatres of the war.
Jaume Ortiz Forns built model tanks and planes for several years, before switching to figure modelling. He specialises in World War II German Army figures, with a particular interest in painting camouflage uniforms, and vignette design and composition. He has won several awards in various key European modelling shows.
Daniel Alfonsea Romero tried his hand at various modelling disciplines until finally settling on figure modelling. Through this he has developed a key interest in military uniforms and history, particularly the 19th and 20th centuries, and has compiled an extensive reference library. His present work focuses on conversions and original sculpting, plus scene composition.
