I had bought this book when I visited the Alamo many years ago. The complete story on the making of this movie illustrated with many pictures.

This is another of Kim Jones' books on sculpting miniatures. This one focuses on the making of the accessories, complete with many detailed step-by-step photos.

Victor,

I came across this blog on another site-

It has some great articles and mentions of a few books included in your thread here.

Brad (Baron) might be interested in this old newspaper story about John G Garratt who wrote a great book about the early stuff-

Hi Mirof and all,

Carrying on with my IR catalog. I noted that Mirof has a couple of IR catalogs on his wonderful website. Since I have already started uploading some of the pages here, I might as well finish it.
I think that there are several types of IR catalogs and they differ, depending on the IR newsletter included then.

There was this short-lived fanzine publication for many of the burgeoning figure modellers who were not satisfied with the present military armour publications. Initially published in b/w, it was a welcome stop-gap publication for me. Later issues came out in colour.

Hello Scott,

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

The Historical Figure Artist magazine segued into the Historical Miniature Art and Review Quarterly magazine. This was a more substantial affair with several pages in colour. However, It didn't last long and the publisher then went on to found Uniformology.com, a website which reprints old uniform plates on a desktop publishing platform.

I have a few Squadron/Signal books of which this remains my favourite copy. I've always enjoyed reading about the Vietnam war and this book has a nice potted history on the US Grunts supplemented by nice photos and rather attractive drawings.
