Modelling Panzer Crewmen of the Heer: 08 (Osprey Modelling) - Softcover

"For the modeller who has attempted figures and is not happy with them, then this title could be for you. It will help you bring your figures up to scratch... [If] you really need to get to grips with your figures, you will need to dip a toe into the 'further reading' section! Recommended." --Vinnie Branigan, Armorama (August 2006)

A wonderfully detailed and beautifully finished armour model can easily be let down if accompanied by a poorly painted figure. The addition of scale figures helps provide depth, weight and realism to a model - yet working with figures continues to be most armour modellers' worst nightmare. This book provides tips and techniques for building, converting and painting World War II German Army Panzer crew figures, in clear step-by-step instructions. Among the topics covered are how to paint different uniforms using enamels and oils; converting and scratch-building figures; painting heads and flesh tones; and weathering clothing.
