Hi
I was fortunate to get it when it first came out,
got it signed by Bill at Euro seems along time ago now.

If I could only keep just one publication, it would be that one.
The complete modelling manual.

To All,

I was told by someone at the Chicago show that they are working on a book that will have every figure that Bill Horan has ever sculpted. I don't have any other details but the person who told me is one of the ones who did the show book on Chicago. If this does come true, you can bet I will have to have this one!

Hi Joe

If that's the case, it has to be huge!!!

I once, in a moment of madness, worked out how many photos I have of Bill's work, representing an individual figure. Including the 20+ in Gandamak etc, and all other dioramas. Considering I did this a few years ago, the number was approaching 500!!! 500! Man, thats a lot, and given he's been busy again of late, I hate to think how many there are now!

It would be a MUST BUY, if what you heard was true! Fingers crossed, eh? Could be split into volumes if there's simply too many for one book. Although it would be the ultimate 'coffee table' book for the miniaturist community!

BTW, Mike Blanks website has mention of his book nearing completion (as it was for Euro last year, then Christmas). Fingers crossed (again) we'll see that soon.

Like snippets of info like that, Joe. Cheers!!!

Hey Rob,

I too hope that both of these are true! I will ask both of them in person if they are at MFCA and let you know. I can't imagine how many figures that Bill has done to date. On the back of his book it said that he had done 500 at that time! We will just have to keep our fingers crossed.

Slightly off topic,

Stefan Müller Herdemertens also is about to finish a book about his work.

It's been a while since there was a painters /sculptors hobby book and I want them all :D
