Modellers Reference Library Magazine THE LEGACY PART ONE Back Issue

This exciting modelling guide is a detailed look at four dioramas that were built around Tamiya’s classic range of 1/35 ‘Military Miniatures’ kits, all finished using Francois Verlinden’s inspiration, ideas and techniques. For anyone that remembers those wonderful dioramas that appeared in the Tamiya catalogues of days gone by before finding their way into ‘The Verlinden’ Way collection of books, this series is the perfect homage to collect, keep and enjoy.
The first of three books that form part of the Legacy Collection, this one deals with a number of the most famous German kits, all four of them appearing in Tamiya’s Top 10 list of all-time best-sellers. The subjects covered, are as follows:
‘Pinned Down’ – featuring the 1/35 Sd.Kfz. 251 Hanomag
‘Desert Raiders’ – featuring both the 1/35 Panzer II Ausf.F/G and SAS Jeep
‘Once A Hunter…’ – featuring the 1/35 Panther Ausf. A
‘Of No Avail 2.0’ – featuring the 1/35 88 mm Flak 36/37
Each chapter offers plenty of construction and painting tips, with easy to follow ideas that will help you to build the models and then perhaps, similar dioramas for your collection. Discussions are had regarding planning, detailing, painting, how to sculpt your own buildings and the use of these older models and their companion sets of figures and accessories. But more than that, the images, musings and techniques offered, will also be of use if you just want some ideas for other models of similar design and vintage. Or maybe, you just want to look at the pictures of the completed models – it’s all there!
‘The Legacy Part One’ is an unashamed slice of nostalgia that modellers of all ages and levels of skill will enjoy, showing as it does that there is still life in some of these old dogs yet! Download your copy today!
