Collecting Model Soldiers by John G Garratt

"This quiet hobby has only recently grown fast and furiously in many parts of the world and many of the new aficionados are young and have not yet had time to acquire much knowledge of the background to the hobby or the model makers, for instance, who have made the pastime practicable. Another recent factor is the comparatively new advent of two completely new schools of model soldier enthusiasts: the converters, and the private makers or "freelancers." The skill they display in reassembling and painting make them an important influence on the scene. John Garratt begins by filling in the comparatively early background, including the emergence of "the masters," and then goes on to the new men in the model making world, covering the United States as well as Europe."
