It profiles the sculptors behind some of the best figures produced by companies such as Historex and Tradition. It uncovers all the hard-earned sculpting and painting skills of these masters of their art, as well as the useful shortcuts. A step-by-step master class in figure painting and a directory of modelling societies and suppliers in the USA and Europe completes this reference work for all military modellers.
