I am pleased to inform you that the WWII Special Vol.2 by Man Jin Kim is OUT! For orders and more information click here!

PREFACE WORLD WAR TWO SPECIAL VOL.2 By MAN JIN KIM

Welcome to the latest WWII Special, Vol.2 in the Scale Model Handbook Series from Mr Black Publications Editions. This is the ultimate painting guide by the Korean master figure painter and artist Man Jin Kim showing ‘how to’ paint miniature figures in German WWII uniforms using acrylic paints.

Mr Black Publications is proud to bring you this awesome work, first published in the Korean language, with an English text where over 84 pages cover the most important aspects of painting German uniforms in miniature. Field grey, black and white, leather uniform items, camouflage accessories, and scenery. Inside are more than 300 photos, and around 280 of them are step-by-step sequences. The first chapter is dedicated to tools and assembly, the second on using acrylic paints and the third is about face painting. The fourth chapter covers painting uniforms, the fifth accessories whereas the sixth looks at scenery. The seventh, and final, chapter presents a gallery of masterly painted figures, busts, and vignettes by the author illustrated with really big and sharp photos that reveal even the smallest details of each model subject. Most of these models were painted as ‘box artwork’ for well-known companies.

A big thank you must go to the master miniature artist Man Jin Kim for giving us the opportunity to bring his work to English-speaking modellers and sharing his secrets with us. Special thanks must go to Jae Kwon Yoo, who translated the author’s Korean text into English and also to Ken Jones, our tireless Text Editor. Our thanks must also go to Alex Vallejo (Vallejo Acrylics), Fernando Vallejo (AK-Interactive), TaesungHarmms (Alpine Miniatures) and Yannis V. Papadopoulos (ETA Diorama Accessories) for their support in this effort.

We hope you enjoy this, our 22nd book in our Scale Model Handbook Series and, as always, keep up the good modelling work!

Painting Guide Vol.2
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Sang-Eon Lee used Vallejo Model Color acrylics for painting Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel “The Desert Fox” bust (LM-BS002) from Life Miniatures. Inside you’ll discover how he painted a realistic looking head with acrylics using the artist’s Planar Face Painting System… Or “painting by numbers” if that’s a more familiar term to you, and a realistic WWII Uniform in exquisite detail. The innovation here is that every possible effort has been made to include the paints of many of the companies producing acrylic colours especially for brush painting miniatures. Herein we have the exact matches of equivalent (or similar) colours, or the Editor’s suggestions for approximate colours, hues and mixes, to achieve the same excellent results as the Artist.

We have used and tested the 10 series of paints of participating companies AK-Interactive (3rd Generation and Old Figure Series), Andrea Miniatures, Vallejo Acrylics (Model Color and Panzer Aces), Scale75 (Scalecolor, Warfront and Artist), Jo Sonja, Kimera Kolors and Lifecolor.

Scale Modelling Manual Vol.3 IS OUT - How to Paint a Female Fantasy Figure in Exquisite Detail

In this third issue Master Artist Christos Katselos explains in detail how he painted Journeyman Miniatures’ Female Morrigan figure. “The Morrigan, Goddess of War, Fate and Death” is a full figure that comes with a detail scenic base and a lot of extra accessories in 1/24th scale (75mm). As the figure is fantasy modellers can paint it using any colour palette they wish to.
The artist used the airbrush for making a black and white sketch followed by paintbrushes to get the most from each tool. The 55 detailed step-by-step photographs with explanatory captions form the larger part of a total of 60 illustrations revealing all the secrets on how the flesh was painted with a cold hue, hair, clothes, ravens, stones, metals and all the details included in the kit. A total of 38 different acrylic paints were used; seven are liquid pigments and one metallic, from four acrylic series… Lifecolor, Vallejo Model Color, Scale75 and Kimera Kolors, with the real colour painted chips included at the end of the article. Also, he used two different primers to sketch; Badger for black and Lifecolor for white.
We must thank the following for their help: Vallejo Acrylics (Alex Vallejo and Jaume Ortiz), Scale75 (Jose Mendez), Kimera Kolors (Luca Marchetti and Pietro Balloni), Lifecolors (Alessandro Balbo and Rolando Iezzi) and Yannis Papadopoulos. Last, but not least, thanks must go to our English Text Editor Ken Jones.

Lifecolor Painting Guide Volume 2 - Painting & Weathering Modelling Techniques

I am pleased to inform you that the 2nd Lifecolor Painting Guide IS OUT!

This is the second painting guide produced in close collaboration with Lifecolor Acrylic paints by Astromodel S.A.S. from Italy. Alessandro Balbo and Rolando Lezzi, owners of the Astromodel S.A.S. distribution company and producers of Lifecolor acrylic paints and products, offered us the opportunity to produce a unique series of books that include not only painting but general modelling techniques covering a wide variety of scale models.

These books offer essential information on painting, weathering and finishing scale models to the highest standard while getting the best from Lifecolor paints and products. Each theme will have a full list of the Lifecolor colour paint chips that were used for the painting and weathering processes.
Available information on historical facts and real equipment will be added in most cases, which will enrich the content of each book and impart some interesting information to readers. We have six articles in this issue, plus some extra details offering a lot more information.

The first article of four pages is by the well-known Master Christos Katselos and about painting a 1/24 scale Female Fantasy Figure Genesis in a Scenic Setting. In the article Christos reveals his approach to painting miniature figures in “Open Your Mind, Pick up your Favourite Colour Tones and Paint”.

In the second article Master Artist Alessandro Gobbi explains in detail the ‘Non Metallic Metal’ painting method he uses with step-by-step photos. He is the creator of the Non Metallic Metal Sets that was working on for years and finally released by Lifecolor! Here he uses the Gold Set and focuses on how to achieve the perfect gold metal effect using the Colour Hues in the set for the Genesis 1/12 scale Bust.

Another Master Modeller, Vincenzo Lanna explains in detail How to Paint a German Camouflage pattern on a Captured Russian Tank KV-1 in 10 Easy to Follow Steps using an airbrush and a brush. Here you will also see how to use the liquid pigments to make a realistic 1/48 scale model tank.

Talented artist Theodosis Giannakidis has contributed two unique articles to this volume on the secrets of achieving a natural and realistic finish. The first one is on ‘How to Paint Sandbags’ from Black Dog and the second is on ‘How to Paint Wood’ effects on Miniart’s Farm Cart. Both articles have step-by-step photos and detailed captions.

Martin Hughes is a well known Master and owner of the “Scale War Machines” YouTube channel who wrote our 6th article (Part 2), which concludes the chapter about weathering civilian vehicles. Martin explains in detail how to create Rust, Mould and Decay on a 1/24 scale Volkswagen Beetle. This is the second of a two-part feature; the first part was published in Volume 1. The eight-page article has 20 in-progress photos showing how to get the most of a ‘Rat-look’ on modern civilian cars making extensive use of the airbrush and Lifecolor products.

We must thank the artists, Theodosis Giannakidis, Alessandro Gobbi, Martin Hughes, Christos Katselos and Vincenzo Lanna, who took part in this big project which, without their participation, would not have been realized.
Also, thanks must go to the owners and producers of the companies for supporting this work and future books… Alessandro Balbo and Rolando Iezzi (Lifecolor by Astromodel), Sang-Eon Lee (Life Miniatures), Yannis Papadopoulos (ETA-Diorama accessories), Piotr Koperski and Andrzei Wraclawek (Panzerart), Ben Mirson (MiniArt), Alexander Shurzenko (Master Box) and Radek Pituch (Rado Miniatures).

And last, but not least, thanks must go to our tireless English Text Editor Ken Jones.

J'ai le plaisir de vous informer que le 2e guide de peinture Lifecolor EST SORTI !

Il s'agit du deuxième guide de peinture réalisé en étroite collaboration avec les peintures acryliques Lifecolor d'Astromodel S.A.S. d'Italie. Alessandro Balbo et Rolando Lezzi, propriétaires de l'Astromodel S.A.S. société de distribution et producteurs de peintures et de produits acryliques Lifecolor, nous a offert l'opportunité de produire une série unique de livres qui incluent non seulement la peinture mais aussi les techniques générales de modélisation couvrant une grande variété de modèles réduits.

Ces livres offrent des informations essentielles sur la peinture, les intempéries et la finition des modèles réduits selon les normes les plus élevées tout en tirant le meilleur parti des peintures et produits Lifecolor. Chaque thème aura une liste complète des éclats de peinture de couleur Lifecolor qui ont été utilisés pour les processus de peinture et de vieillissement.
Les informations disponibles sur les faits historiques et les équipements réels seront ajoutées dans la plupart des cas, ce qui enrichira le contenu de chaque livre et apportera des informations intéressantes aux lecteurs. Nous avons six articles dans ce numéro, ainsi que quelques détails supplémentaires offrant beaucoup plus d'informations.

Le premier article de quatre pages est écrit par le célèbre Maître Christos Katselos et parle de la peinture d'une genèse féminine à l'échelle 1/24 dans un cadre scénique. Dans l'article, Christos révèle son approche de la peinture de figurines miniatures dans "Open Your Mind, Pick up your Favorite Color Tones and Paint".

Dans le deuxième article, le maître artiste Alessandro Gobbi explique en détail la méthode de peinture "Métal non métallique" qu'il utilise avec des photos étape par étape. Il est le créateur des Non Metallic Metal Sets sur lesquels il travaillait depuis des années et qui ont finalement été publiés par Lifecolor ! Ici, il utilise l'ensemble d'or et se concentre sur la façon d'obtenir l'effet métal doré parfait en utilisant les teintes de couleur dans l'ensemble pour le buste à l'échelle Genesis 1/12.

Un autre maître modeleur, Vincenzo Lanna, explique en détail comment peindre un motif de camouflage allemand sur un char russe capturé KV-1 en 10 étapes faciles à suivre à l'aide d'un aérographe et d'un pinceau. Ici, vous verrez également comment utiliser les pigments liquides pour créer un modèle de réservoir réaliste à l'échelle 1/48.

L'artiste talentueux Theodosis Giannakidis a contribué deux articles uniques à ce volume sur les secrets de l'obtention d'une finition naturelle et réaliste. Le premier est sur "Comment peindre des sacs de sable" de Black Dog et le second sur les effets "Comment peindre du bois" sur le chariot de ferme de Miniart. Les deux articles ont des photos étape par étape et des légendes détaillées.

Martin Hughes est un maître bien connu et propriétaire de la chaîne YouTube "Scale War Machines" qui a écrit notre 6ème article (Partie 2), qui conclut le chapitre sur les intempéries des véhicules civils. Martin explique en détail comment créer Rust, Mold and Decay sur une Volkswagen Beetle à l'échelle 1/24. Ceci est la deuxième d'une fonctionnalité en deux parties; la première partie a été publiée dans le volume 1. L'article de huit pages contient 20 photos en cours montrant comment tirer le meilleur parti d'un "regard de rat" sur les voitures civiles modernes en utilisant largement l'aérographe et les produits Lifecolor.

Nous devons remercier les artistes, Theodosis Giannakidis, Alessandro Gobbi, Martin Hughes, Christos Katselos et Vincenzo Lanna, qui ont pris part à ce grand projet qui, sans leur participation, n'aurait pas vu le jour.
Merci également aux propriétaires et producteurs des entreprises pour leur soutien à ce travail et aux futurs livres… Alessandro Balbo et Rolando Iezzi (Lifecolor by Astromodel), Sang-Eon Lee (Life Miniatures), Yannis Papadopoulos (accessoires ETA-Diorama), Piotr Koperski et Andrzei Wraclawek (Panzerart), Ben Mirson (MiniArt), Alexander Shurzenko (Master Box) et Radek Pituch (Rado Miniatures).

Et le dernier, mais non le moindre, merci à notre infatigable éditeur de texte anglais Ken Jones.

We are pleased to inform you that our 10th Theme Collection Series book Is Out!
Wars & Warriors in Scale - The 19th Century
Theme Collection Vol.10

Preface

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

As always, thanks must go to all our contributors for their support and for sharing their secrets with us. Special thanks are due to Pietro Balloni, Luca Marchetti, Alex Vallejo, Fernando Vallejo, Alessandro Balbo, Rolando Iezzi, Darren Parker-Mead, Man Jin Kim, Taesung Harmms, Andrew Cairns, Young B. Song, Dae-Hyeong Kim, Ju Won Jung, Paul Ondeck, Yannis Papadopoulos and our English Text Editor Ken Jones.

We hope you’ll enjoy our latest edition!

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.

DIORAMA MODELLING 2
Welcome to the second of our diorama modelling books in Mr Black Publications’ series of Scale Model Handbooks. Like the first book we have an extended format to cover a great variety of military modelling themes and various types of dioramas.

This 100-page book offers lots of interesting and prototype material to meet the interests of our readers. Different approaches, techniques and step-by-step instructions are covered in more than 400 photographs and associated texts to inspire you, the reader, towards making your own creations.

It’s taken more that 24 months of intensive work to gather the material herein, since we wanted to cover many historical periods, such as Ancient and Roman times, the 17th century, World War Two, as well as considering the many different and popular modelling scales of 1/35 (50mm) and 1/32 (54mm) to the larger 1/24 (75mm) scale dioramas, to satisfy our readers’ interests. The aim was to make this book a necessary and useful handbook for modellers everywhere.

We’d like to thank those who contributed to this book; we certainly couldn’t have produced it without them… Christos Katselos, Grigoris Marmatakis, Igor Kordyukov, Dan Capuano, Noel Petroni, Sergey Popovichenko, Christos Panagiotopoulos and Tolis Moustakas… You are all great!

Christos presents in a most detailed way the construction and painting of the Andrea super kit, “Elephant Down! Zama, 202 BC” with more than 100 step-by-step photos. Christos’ article also provided the subject for our cover!

A new method of article presentation is, “History You Can Model” by Grigoris Marmatakis, using all of the Pegaso Models’ vignettes and some more converted figures from other kits in the next diorama. This is a really big diorama that was inspired by the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in AD 9, and the Battle that stopped Rome, presenting all the historical data in detail by Stelios Demiras.

An astonishing step-by-step sculpting feature by Igor Kordyukov, that was released as a commercial 75mm kit (IM75-17) comprising seven figures by Irbis Miniatures, and inspired by Ilya Repin’s painting, “Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed IV of the Ottoman Empire”, also known as the “Cossacks of Saporog are Drafting a Manifesto” and a masterpiece of Russian art. More than 150 photos are featured - 130 of them are step-by-step!

Sergey Popovichenko created an impressive vignette by combining a scratch-built setting populated with commercial 54mm figures from Tin Berlin. The painting techniques of Sergey combine acrylics and oils taking the best of each medium.

“Stalingrad, A Fight To The Last” is another super diorama in 1/35 scale from the well-know master modeller Dan Capuano who used 35 figures, most of them updated and converted, with most of the scenery made from scratch! This is Dan’s first article for Mr Black Publications and we hope that more of his superb works will follow.

Resting at Karachev is a combined work from two master modellers in their fields… Christos Panagiotopoulos (figures) and Tolis Moustakas (Tank and scenery). A detailed articled on how to create a peaceful Second World War scene using commercial parts and a lots of imagination.

Noel Petroni’s work is well known from his many contributions to English language military modelling magazines around the globe, and from his article in our first Diorama Modelling title. This time Noel has a smaller 1/35 scale military diorama, “The Grim Reality of War, Poland 1939” showing how a diorama can arouse strong emotions. Noel scratch builds the two figures therein and uses the Panzer I Ausf A from Tristar, presenting the construction and painting in 58 step-by-step photos.

Special thanks must go to Luca Marchetti and Pietro Balloni from Pegaso Models who have been there for us right from the start; Alex Vallejo of Vallejo Acrylics, Alexey Lucanev of Irbis Miniatures and John Page from Sphere Products, whose support is highly appreciated. Last, but not least, we would like to thank Ken Jones for his valuable help in editing texts translated into English, his advice and for lending a unique final touch to all our publications.

It is with much excitement and satisfaction that we present the second book in “Diorama Modelling Series”… It’s one in which we’re placing great hope towards it being a new and successful regular edition to our series of modelling books!

MODÉLISATION DIORAMA 2
Bienvenue dans le deuxième de nos livres de modélisation de diorama dans la série de manuels de modèles réduits de Mr Black Publications. Comme le premier livre, nous avons un format étendu pour couvrir une grande variété de thèmes de modélisation militaire et divers types de dioramas.

Ce livre de 100 pages offre beaucoup de matériel intéressant et prototype pour répondre aux intérêts de nos lecteurs. Différentes approches, techniques et instructions étape par étape sont couvertes dans plus de 400 photographies et textes associés pour vous inspirer, le lecteur, à réaliser vos propres créations.

Il a fallu plus de 24 mois de travail intensif pour rassembler le matériel ici, car nous voulions couvrir de nombreuses périodes historiques, telles que l'Antiquité et l'époque romaine, le XVIIe siècle, la Seconde Guerre mondiale, ainsi que les nombreuses échelles de modélisation différentes et populaires. de 1/35 (50 mm) et 1/32 (54 mm) aux plus grands dioramas à l'échelle 1/24 (75 mm), pour satisfaire les intérêts de nos lecteurs. Le but était de faire de ce livre un manuel nécessaire et utile pour les modélisateurs du monde entier.

Nous aimerions remercier ceux qui ont contribué à ce livre; nous n'aurions certainement pas pu le produire sans eux… Christos Katselos, Grigoris Marmatakis, Igor Kordyukov, Dan Capuano, Noel Petroni, Sergey Popovichenko, Christos Panagiotopoulos et Tolis Moustakas… Vous êtes tous géniaux !

Christos présente de manière très détaillée la construction et la peinture du super kit Andrea, « Elephant Down ! Zama, 202 av. J.-C. » avec plus de 100 photos étape par étape. L'article de Christos a également fourni le sujet de notre couverture !

Une nouvelle méthode de présentation d'articles est "History You Can Model" de Grigoris Marmatakis, en utilisant toutes les vignettes des modèles Pegaso et quelques figures supplémentaires converties d'autres kits dans le prochain diorama. Il s'agit d'un très grand diorama inspiré de la bataille de la forêt de Teutoburg en 9 après JC et de la bataille qui a arrêté Rome, présentant toutes les données historiques en détail par Stelios Demiras.

Une étonnante fonction de sculpture étape par étape d'Igor Kordyukov, qui a été publiée sous la forme d'un kit commercial de 75 mm (IM75-17) comprenant sept figurines d'Irbis Miniatures, et inspirée de la peinture d'Ilya Repin, "Réponse des cosaques de Zaporozhian au sultan Mehmed IV de l'Empire ottoman", également connu sous le nom de "Les cosaques de Saporog rédigent un manifeste" et un chef-d'œuvre de l'art russe. Plus de 150 photos sont présentées - 130 d'entre elles sont étape par étape !

Sergey Popovichenko a créé une vignette impressionnante en combinant un décor construit à partir de zéro peuplé de figurines commerciales de 54 mm de Tin Berlin. Les techniques de peinture de Sergey combinent l'acrylique et l'huile en prenant le meilleur de chaque médium.

"Stalingrad, A Fight To The Last" est un autre super diorama à l'échelle 1/35 du célèbre maquettiste Dan Capuano qui a utilisé 35 figurines, la plupart mises à jour et converties, avec la plupart des décors créés à partir de rien ! Ceci est le premier article de Dan pour Mr Black Publications et nous espérons que d'autres de ses superbes travaux suivront.

Resting at Karachev est une œuvre combinée de deux maîtres modeleurs dans leurs domaines… Christos Panagiotopoulos (figures) et Tolis Moustakas (Tank et décors). Un article détaillé sur la façon de créer une scène paisible de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en utilisant des pièces commerciales et beaucoup d'imagination.

Le travail de Noel Petroni est bien connu pour ses nombreuses contributions à des magazines de modélisation militaire en anglais dans le monde entier et pour son article dans notre premier titre Diorama Modeling. Cette fois, Noel a un diorama militaire plus petit à l'échelle 1/35, "La sombre réalité de la guerre, Pologne 1939" montrant comment un diorama peut susciter de fortes émotions. Noel scratch y construit les deux figurines et utilise le Panzer I Ausf A de Tristar, présentant la construction et la peinture en 58 photos étape par étape.

Des remerciements particuliers doivent être adressés à Luca Marchetti et Pietro Balloni de Pegaso Models qui ont été là pour nous dès le début ; Alex Vallejo de Vallejo Acrylics, Alexey Lucanev d'Irbis Miniatures et John Page de Sphere Products, dont le soutien est très apprécié. Enfin et surtout, nous tenons à remercier Ken Jones pour son aide précieuse dans la rédaction des textes traduits en anglais, ses conseils et pour avoir apporté une touche finale unique à toutes nos publications.

C'est avec beaucoup d'enthousiasme et de satisfaction que nous vous présentons le deuxième livre de "Diorama Modeling Series"... C'est celui dans lequel nous plaçons beaucoup d'espoir qu'il soit une nouvelle édition régulière réussie de notre série de livres de modélisation !

BACK COVER
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 heroics, 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! And Listening to your Demands This Time…All in 1/35 Scale (50mm).

Available from Mr Black Publications Webstore, and soon from our distributors, dealers and shops worldwide!

Scale Modelling Manual Vol.4

This is the fourth Manual in our new series about Scale Modelling where our aim is to bring a lot of concentrated information about painting and general modelling techniques for all modellers at a competitive retail price.


This particular issue will cover in depth the construction of a diorama based on wartime photos and events. The main theme is a detachment of German Forces from Kampfgruppe Hansen 1st SS Panzer Division at Poteau on 18th December 1944 - two days into the Battle of the Bulge - after setting up an Ambush of an American convoy of the 14th Cavalry Group. This big operation by the German Forces, known as Ardennes Offensive, was the last in such a large scale before the end of War. This book includes 60 high quality photos, 30 of which are in-progress, and a very detailed text, so the reader can easily follow the whole procedure in detail from start to finish. The author included all the sets, accessories, and paint codes used to add all the details to the diorama as well as the full interior of the Tamiya M8 armoured car.

The author of this Super Diorama is the well-known master modeller Lieven Terryn from Belgium. Lieven was the author of our 1st Scale Modelling Manual, that included the ‘Siege of Tobruk 1941’, a Super Diorama in detail and an SBS Figure Painting with oil colours of an Alpine Miniatures Leutnant of the 8th Panzer Regiment in Libya 1941, and an article by Mr Black’s Team on relevantacrylic colour sets for DAK uniforms and how to use them.


HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
On the morning of 18th December 1944, two days into the Battle of the Bulge, an American convoy of the 14th Cavalry Group was ambushed by SS-Kampfgruppe Hansen, 1st SS-Panzer Division, Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, near the small Belgian village of Poteau. KG Hansen achieved complete surprise and the American Troops had to abandon their vehicles and retreat to the village. Shortly after the attack some Waffen SS kriegsberichter arrived and took some staged and posed shots. Later the undeveloped film fell into American hands when a dispatch rider was captured. The captured German kriegsberichter film footage from the action is some of the most well-known footage from the entire War and has featured in countless documentaries whereas stills from the film have been published in countless books.

Scale Modelling Manual Vol.5 - DAK Forces in Scale 2 IS OUT!

This is the 5th Manual in our new Scale Modelling series where our aim is to bring a lot of concentrated information about painting and general modelling techniques for all modellers at a competitive retail price.

In this particular issue we have three articles by three different artists. The first article, by Theodosis Giannakidis, is an in-depth description of the detailed construction of a desert diorama featuring a Panzer I tank, two resin figures and a palm tree. The concept behind the diorama with 21 in-progress photos depicts a mechanical problem with the tank where the crew members are trying to fix it, whilst also mindful to the fact that enemy forces are close by. The second article is a short, two-page feature of a DAK AFV Commander by Toshihiro Sano painted with Tamiya Enamels. The artist explains in detail his way of painting and includes all his paint mixes. The third article by Christos Katselos is a detailed step-by-step feature on how to paint a DAK Panzer Crew using various Vallejo Acrylics. There are 43 step-by-step photos that reveal all the necessary information for painting the DAK crew figures.

In total this book has 96 high quality photos, 72 of which are step-by-step or in-progress sequences, with a very detailed text, so the reader can easily follow the whole procedure in detail from start to finish. The authors have included all the sets, accessories, and paint codes they used so the reader can easily identify them.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The first German troops arrived in Tripoli on 14th February 1941, where they were personally inspected by Rommel, who had landed, with various members of his staff, two days previously at Castel Benito airfield, some 15 miles south of Tripoli. After marching past in review, the men of 5 Leichte Division marched out of Tripoli and reached Misurata, farther down the coast of Tripolitania, later the same day. Advanced units of the divisional reconnaissance battalion (AA3) moved on as far as Sirte, where they were ordered to remain in mobile reserve. Rommel was faced with the problem of making the British believe that his forces were too strong for them to attack and he decided to have dummy tanks constructed.
On 19th February Hitler issued a directive announcing that from that date onwards the German forces in Africa under Rommel would be known as the Deutsches Afrika Korps (DAK). In addition, Hitler’s directive went on to say that in order to reinforce 5 Leichte, a full panzer division would be transferred to Tripolitania, which turned out to be the 15 Panzer Division that began landing in late April 1941 and completely up to full strength by mid-June of that year.
