Terryn, Lieven Scale Model Handbooks. Scale Modelling Manual. Volume 1

This is the first Manual in a new series about Scale Modelling where the aim is to bring a lot of concentrated information about painting and general modelling techniques for all modellers at a competitive retail price.
Each manual will deal with a specific topic in detail, offering a lot of different approaches and techniques and in most cases written by one author. The contents will be carefully selected and presented in a way that every reader should find something new to try and to adapt to their own methods. Each book will have high quality photos and a detailed text so the reader will easily follow the progress of the assembly and painting of each theme, to help adopt new modelling techniques and different approaches.
In other editions of the "Scale Modeling Handbook" range the length of each theme was limited due to the number of pages taken for other contents, but here there are no such limitations. Each theme will be presented in a most detailed and explanatory way so there will be no omissions or unanswered questions.
Depending on the themes and contents, real painted colour chips of hues and mixes will be added with information on how to use them. In this series we will include various modelling aspects from Historic and Fantasy, Scale Models, Dioramas, Vignettes, Figures, Busts, Techniques and History.
In this first issue well cover a part of the Deutsches Afrika Korps Forces in Scale by presenting Lieven Terryns "Siege of Tobruk 1941" Super Diorama, a detailed figure painting with oils of an Alpine Miniatures Leutnant of the 8th Panzer Regiment in Libya 1941 and an article by Mr. Blacks Team on Acrylic Relevant Colour Sets for DAK Uniforms and how to use them.
