For a few months now, there has been a 'mock-up' cover of this book circulating. The authot of the book, Mark Bannerman, very kindly sent me a copy of the DEFINITIVE cover:



Also, as a another useful snippet, Amazon very heplfully sent me the news that the book will be published on the 30th of June.

Incidentally, Amazon are still listing the author incorrectly...Doh! :-)

EDIT: Osprey publishing are STILL listing the book for release in September. Who actually do we believe?

Thanks for the preview, Jim.

I assume Mark will be employing his usual methods of oil over acrylic (or enamel)?

As usual the book will be useful to all figure modellers and not just folks that model Panzer Crewmen, as the techniques Mark demonstrates can be applied to virtually all facets of figure modelling.

Thanks again, Jim.

Hi Rudi ...I know for a fact that there were different modellers working on different figures in the book so there will be different techniques discribed through out the book ...I have had the priviledge of having a figure done bye one of the authors on my Tiger base...
Denis Allaire is just starting to show off his work ,but it won't be the last time ...The picture doesn't do the figure justice.

Hi Rick,

So it's more a collaboration than a Mark Bannerman book?

Good to know, thanks.

Well there's a lot of Marks work but others have contributed as well.
