Description:
New book, 176 pages. Converting model figures is an absorbing and fulfilling pastime.. Whether you are an armour modeller needing to make your figures more relevent to the vehicle you build, or a figure modeller who is looking for that critical detail to make your warrior stand out from the rest, this book has something for everyone. Duncan Howarth guides you step by step through fascinating conversion projects, from the Napoleonic 'Cuirassier' Standard Bearer, through the 'John Lynn VC' diorama and on to the advanced 'Band of Brothers' hand-to-hand set piece. In the quest to create your own unique figure types, you will convert proprietary model kits in resin, plastic and polythene, in scales from 1/35th through 54mm and on to 1/16th scale. The modelling and painting techniques demonstrated throughout this volume will enable even a complete newcomer to the hobby to create unique, and original figures for individual display and dioramas. This book includes step by step guides to: Modifying figures, Changing arm and leg positions, Altering uniforms, Adding extra detail, Changing faces, Choosing the right tools for the job, Detailing your figures, Historical accuracy.
