[Stelios Demiras]

We are pleased to inform you that our 10th Theme Collection Series book Is Out!
Wars & Warriors in Scale - The 19th Century
Theme Collection Vol.10

Preface

This is the 10th “Theme Collections” title in our new and ongoing series that draws upon previously published articles from our Scale Model Handbook Special Editions Collection books where the content is dedicated to a specific category or period. In this latest edition we’ve gathered 12 themes on 19th Century conflicts, which have a popular following amongst the miniature figure modelling fraternity. The Napoleonic Wars stretched over the first 20 years of the 19th Century so most of the articles in this edition will present the colourful uniforms of that era. Future titles in this new series will offer carefully chosen articles, grouped together into specific themes.

Our books are produced using a high-quality digital printing process giving excellent quality illustrations on 300g matt laminated velvet paper for the covers, with 150g velvet paper inside, all ‘perfect bound’ with a special glue!

As always, thanks must go to all our contributors for their support and for sharing their secrets with us. Special thanks are due to Pietro Balloni, Luca Marchetti, Alex Vallejo, Fernando Vallejo, Alessandro Balbo, Rolando Iezzi, Darren Parker-Mead, Man Jin Kim, Taesung Harmms, Andrew Cairns, Young B. Song, Dae-Hyeong Kim, Ju Won Jung, Paul Ondeck, Yannis Papadopoulos and our English Text Editor Ken Jones.

We hope you’ll enjoy our latest edition!

BACKCOVER TEXT
The historic events of the 19th Century have fascinated people from childhood to adulthood, as the Napoleonic Wars took place and dominated the early years of the period. The advancing lines of the infantry facing continuous musket and cannon fire was really terrifying and unbelievable, considering the account of human casualties. The colourful uniforms worn during the period are really a challenge for every modeller and military artist and here you will find a lot of different types and colours.

Within this ‘Theme Collection’ book you’ll find 12 articles by eight well-known artists who reveal their secrets for painting, sculpting and scenic creations, seven of which were originally made for Box Art Painting. All mediums are used here... Acrylics, enamels and oils, so whatever paint you prefer, you’ll find interesting ways and varied approaches to using it, and you’ll also learn a lot of new things, tips and techniques along the way.

I have quite a Library!
I DO like the sound and concept!
Well done.

On of my favorites, "The Universal Soldier". another concept, with Artwork by Gerry Embleton.

So good I used it for my Business name in the 1970s!

It is late but I will dig it out tomorrow? So I have got it out now!

Published by Guinness Superlatives Ltd ... Enfield, Middlesex! My origin!
Edited by Martin Windrow and Frederick Wilkinson.
14 Colour Plates by Gerald Embleton.
Concept.
The Common Soldier from AD 43 to 1944. 14 nameless men, now immortal in this book through the words of 14 authors and the eyes of Gerald Embleton, brother of Ronald, one of the 14.
It cost me £4.50 when published 1n 1971.

I was then serving in Sharjah, an Army Major attached to RAF for one year unaccompanied tour as a Ground Liaison Officer! With some kits and a paint brush and some spare time I came back in mid 71 and went to the Fleet Air Arm and a Carrier. Do not ask. My wife did!

So I got it asap.

If you have it or have seen it .. you will know what I mean

Q. Is Box Art a Dying Art?
