THE LEGACY PART TWO – READY TO ORDER!

If you bought Part One of this series, you are really going to want to own this new addition to my collection of military modelling guides!

THE LEGACY PART TWO‘ is detailed look at a group dioramas that were built over the last 2 years around Tamiya’s classic range of 1/35 ‘Military Miniatures’ kits, all finished using Francois Verlinden’s inspiration, ideas and techniques.

THE LEGACY PART TWO‘ is detailed look at a group dioramas that were built over the last 2 years 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.

This is the second of a planned series of books, this one dealing with many of the remaining builds from the project that began in 2020, five of that series being included within the Legacy Part One, that many of you have already bought and enjoyed. If you enjoyed the first volume, you really will love this new title and the models that it contains!

This new book will feature the following models, either as a standalone project, or as part of an additional diorama.

  • Tamiya M4A3 Sherman
  • Tamiya T-34/76 ARV (and Jonathan Mock’s T-34/76)
  • Tamiya Flak 36/37
  • Tamiya Pink Panther Land Rover
  • Tamiya Chieftain Mk.V

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

Here are some of the pages from this new book to give you an idea of what you can expect from it. As you can see, the book has been printed in landscape format to allow you the reader, the chance to see all of then detail that you can find without it being lost over the edges of the pages and central gutter lines. I hope that you approve of this change in design!

HOW TO PAY FOR YOUR BOOK…

As with previous titles, this one is being created as a strictly limited-run product and as before, the price reflects this. Many of you will already have the other books in your collections so — hopefully — will know what this means in terms of quality and how enjoyable it is to own something that’s rather niche in its approach!

Spencer Pollard, March 2022.

I'm formerly the editor in charge of Military In Scale magazine and latterly, Model Airplane International. Editing duties to one side, I'm now a full-time modelmaker with Doolittle Media, working to supply modelling articles and material for a number of their group titles, including MAI and Tamiya Model Magazine International. I'm also an avid fan of Assassin's creed, Coventry City FC and when the mood takes me, a drummer of only passing skill. Here though, you'll find what I do best: build models and occassionally, write about them!
