Description

In many ways, modelling figures is the most difficult part of the model maker's art.

If the posture is wrong, if the physical attributes and features aren't lifelike and in the right proportions, or if the clothing and the play of light on the clothing is inaccurate, the figures will look stilted and inhuman. If they are in a diorama, it won't matter how good the rest of the model making is, the effect will be ruined.

The eighth of Osprey's Modelling Manuals provides a masterclass in the art of figure modelling and painting. The work of many talented modellers is shown, identifying how to meet this demanding challenge and produce models of the highest calibre. The meticulous techniques are skilled but simple enough for the amateur modelling enthusiast to learn from and improve their work. Figure modelling of all kinds is explained from adapting existing commercial models to starting from scratch.
