Description

Gerald Wingrove has been described as ‘The modern counterpart of an Elizabethan Miniaturist’, and there is little doubt that along with a select few in his field, his work will rank amongst the fine art of his time.

In this book Gerald Wingrove tells his story and explains the motivation which led him to strive for the extraordinary standards he now achieves. What is even more remarkable is that his work is not merely an amateur’s obsession with perfection (regardless of time), but has evolved in the demanding world of the professional model maker.

Gerald Wingrove, along with one or two other notable miniaturists, actually earns his living in the pursuit of perfection and few would disagree that he has become pre-eminent in his field. In his previous book ‘The Complete Car Modeller’, the author explained the ‘how’ of his many techniques. In this volume, the reader is invited to relax and enjoy the excellence of the finished work of this master craftsman. Hardback in generally very good condition with good dust jacket.
