FIGURE MODELLING 8 This is the Eighth Edition in the Scale Model Handbook Series, dedicated to miniature figures. In this latest issue we offer the excellent work of Mike Butler, Ernesto Reyes Stalhuth, Grigoris Marmatakis, Manolis Mitsotakis and Alex Varela (Iguazzu). In this issue a variety of themes and techniques is featured; painting different textures and metals, a colourful uniform of the Napoleonic Wars, a large-scale WWII bust and two WWI figures placed on a trench section. We have also included techniques on creating and painting bases and scenic settings. The Maori article on how to paint realistic textures on large-scale figures is a new approach on combining various paints and mediums.
