Military Modelling Annual

Book Review

by Don Featherstone

MILITARY MODELLING ANNUAL. (9 3/4" x 7 1/2"; 144 pages; innumerable coloured. and black-and- white illustrations, photographs, drawings, etc. Argus Books Ltd - £ 2.50p). This soft covered annual is made up of specially commissioned articles from regular contributors to the magazine MILITARY MODELLING; therefore it contains something of everything for everyone. Beginning with a short but invaluable article on the comparison of figure sizes, it goes on with fine illustrated articles on Armoured Rail-Cars in Ireland, suggestions for a Medieval Wargame by Charles Grant; Russian Marines 1812; Knights of the Crusades; an interesting Individual Wargame/conversion article about Samurai (also another article on these gentlemen); French Hussars before the Emperor Napoleon; making a model of a Buffalo Hunter 54mm; H.M.S. Wild Goose with plans; a diorama and constructing a plastic kit in a bottle; making up 54mm Prussian Dragoon officer; a well illustrated article on the Gurkhas plus articles on plastic kit construction and conversion and general model making. Full of interest and a fine effort although perhaps a little expensive for a soft covered publication.
