I am pleased to inform you that our new book dedicated in WWII Special book in Scale Model Handbook series is released and ready for shipment. This is the first in our new WWII series. I hope that you like it. It is 84 pages, matt laminated cover, A4 format and binding. More info:
Although more than 70 years have passed since the beginning of The Second World War, this worldwide 20th century conflict affected the history of all peoples in many ways, the effects of which are still felt today. Although the cost in human lives and resources was immense, this era also created a feeling of romanticism and has been the platform for many heroic, as well as unspeakable criminal acts.
However, for many reasons that only psychology can explain, this era is perhaps among the most popular themes for modellers. It wouldn’t be too much to say that this might be the most popular and best-selling period in the modelling business, as many modellers choose it for their projects.
It was inevitable that we would feature this particular chapter of military history, offering the modeller the “best from the best” in this field… Figures, dioramas, vignettes, busts, painting and building techniques, weathering and much more to come, bringing inspiration and enriching both your knowledge and your library!
We’ve reached the 18th book in Mr Black Publications’ Scale Model Handbook series, which is a result of collaboration from some old as well as some new contributors. This is the first book in the series we have entirely dedicated to creations inspired by those events that took place between the years 1939-1945 known to Western histories as “The Second World War”. Even though wartime themes are numerous herein, and feature an extended variety of models and figures, especially in 1:35 scale, we’ve managed to present many representative examples catering to the varying interests of our readers.
We must thank all our contributors for their excellent work and their dedication to achieve this project. In particular, Kaz Tomori, Carl Startin “Carlos Figureart”, Man Jin Kim, Juanma Vergara, Stelios Neofytidis, Ioannis Tsikstiris and the dynamic Toshihiro Sano who appears for first time in one of our publications, offering no less than three articles!
As always we must thank our friends, partners and supporters including, Pietro Balloni and Luca Marchetti (Pegaso Models), Darren Parker-Mead (Tommy’s War), Stuart Hale (Stormtrooper Miniatures), Alexander Surzhenko (Masterbox Ltd), Jon Page (Sphere Products), Alexey Lukanev (Irbis Miniatures) and Alex Vallejo (Vallejo Acrylics).
Last, but not least, we would like to thank Ken Jones for his valuable help in editing those texts translated into English, his advice and for helping us lend a unique final touch to all our publications.
Hopefully you’ll enjoy our new book, but above all, keep modelling!
