Wars & Warriors in Scale - The 19^th Century

Theme Collection Vol.10

This is the 10^th “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 19^th Century conflicts, which have a popular following amongst the miniature figure modelling fraternity. The Napoleonic Wars stretched over the first 20 years of the 19^th 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!

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by eight well-known artists who reveal their secrets for painting, sculpting and scenic creations, seven of which were originally made for Box Art Painting.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.
