With the company's Masterclass series, Osprey Publishing will be publishing a major new title in Septemebr 2009.

The name of Steven Zaloga should require little in the way of explanation. However, for those new to the hobby, Steve Zaloga has published many articles in both magazines and authored many books covering a variety of subjects.

This newly-announced book:

Modeling U.S. Armor of WWII

Will deviate slightly from Steve's previous books on U.S. armor by concentrating completely on technique rather than specific projects. The book will cover construction techniques, painting & weathering, stowage, figures, scenic bases, photography, etc. etc.

What it WON'T be is a reprint of articles which have been previously published - this is a completely new publication concentrating on the 'process' that the author goes through to produce his models.

Obviously, this book is not aimed at the 'complete' novice, but it seems pretty safe to assume that modelrs of all levels of experience will gain something from it.
