2015

Since 1997 Andrea Press has been a publisher of

quality books in a number of languages that have been the subject of praise the world over. The first books dealt with aspects of modeling and were a logical continuation of the fact that Andrea Press was an early daughter company of Andrea Miniatures, well known as a foremost manufacturer of historical miniatures and models.

Eventually Andrea’s publishing arm evolved into related fields of interest: primarily military history and collecting. This was a logical evolution, as both subjects go hand-in-hand with the process of creating miniatures. Whatever the reason, Andrea Press has grown over fast the last seventeen years and is now a prestigious publishing company in its own right. At Andrea Press, books are regarded as the best vehicle for accurate and independent knowledge. In the era of visual, mass communication, where a picture

is supposed to be worth more than a thousand words, we strive to develop a meaningful balance between the two. Any new book is a fascinating project and one into which a lot of care and love is poured in the sincere hope our readers may enjoy a solid, appealing product.

In 2011 Andrea Press expanded into the North American Market by establishing an office and a warehouse in Texas.

A fully illustrated layout, style and accuracy are our commitment and trademark.

This catalogue presents all the books on our published list divided in three themes that define the Andrea Press identity, History, Militara, Modeling and Collecting, and includes a brief summary of their main contents and features.

WW I GERMAN STORMTROOPERS(1914-1918)

Ricardo Recio CardonaSTUR

MTR

UPPE

N

The first assault units (Sturmtruppen) were formed during the spring and summer of 1916, when the Sturmbataillon Rohr was organized and after General Falkenhayn, head of the OHL, gave orders for the creation of special detachments. These units had the mission of spreading the Stosstrupptaktik, a new tactic which decisively transformed the fighting methods of the German Army. But long before this happened, another type of troops had been created within the German infantry during the winter of 1914-1915: the Shock troops (Stosstruppen), fresh infantry groups that were never officially recognized as such and never belonged to any permanent unit, but remained active until the end of the war and contributed to improving the offensive capacity of the German infantry.

This book is a narration of the history of the shock and assault troops and covers their combat methods. Finally, it offers a comprehensive description of their uniforms, equipment, and weapons, along with a large number of illustrations and period photographs rarely seen.

THE DIORAMAS

THE DIORAMAS

Das Boot

ALL FIGURES 54 mm1:32

THE COMPLETE ANDREA COLLECTION

Worthy of mention is the MG34 machine gun that was specially

produced for this diorama, as the MG42 that was available from the

Andrea catalog was not mounted in U-Boats at the time represented

in the diorama.At a certain point, Baldo realized that, given the way the submarine was

resting on the dock, the anchor could not be seen at all. So a reversal

of the whole composition was proposed as a solution. “OK,” I said, “but

then we would only see the back of the figures!” Finally we left it as

it was, as it was more interesting to show the propellers and rudders

rather than have them cornered on the other side of the dry dock.

In the final assembly, Baldo left the anchor resting on the floor on the

dry dock at the end of a meandering chain, which created a beautiful

effect. There is some activity at the port around the group of high

officers who observe the boat from the upper level – they watch the

men stocking mines, and another who is hoisted on a crane, which

adds dramatic tension to the scene. At the same time, a group of

workers is walking by and a diver descends into the water from a tug

for some underwater operation. All these works would be extensively covered in an Andrea Press

book called “Das Boot”. This diorama was indeed a team effort, mainly

created by Rafael and Mario Milla, Julio Cabos, Baldomero Sáiz,

and myself. I think all of us share a great passion for modeling and

professional commitment. I will never forget my feeling when we

finally saw the diorama completely finished and on schedule. After a

long night of intensive work retouching and assembling pieces, Julio,

Baldo, and I sat in silence for minutes, staring at the piece, breathless…

Some months later, the diorama would be presented at the

Nuremberg Toy Fair with tremendous success – it was one of the

most visited and praised piece in the modeling hall.

San

AP-006Das Boot

T his diorama was born from the imagination of two men, my

brother Carlos and Baldomero Sáiz. Although initially we

considered the possibility of one or two boats entering the typical

concrete shelter, it soon became evident that the highest dramatic

point was showing the complete hull in all its glory.

From the beginning, I tried to convince Baldo that it would be

interesting to remove some of the side planks as if they were

being repaired, in order to show some of the interior. However this

presented too much additional work, considering the enormous task

lying ahead of us. Then I came up with the beautiful scene of the

torpedo loading across the deck. When a preliminary setting of the

piece was presented for approval, everybody became very excited

and all of us eagerly embarked on the adventure of creating this

incredible diorama. Perhaps the most laborious part was the hull. It took weeks of careful

filling and sandpapering because the wooden structure swelled

capriciously with the humidity. Thousands of rivets had to be applied

and Baldo very cleverly devised a miniature tool able to produce

perfect rivets in large quantities.One of the most beautiful elements in the diorama is the deck gun.

It is a miniature in its own right that would also be used in a later

release. I was always ready to support Baldo in any of the many

modeling problems that appeared along the long way. He used to

say, “Here we could have this, or make that,” and I immediately started

working... That was the case with many details, such as the batteries

lying on the dock floor and the welding carts (highly detailed and

true to period). The supplies being stored on the deck received a lot

of attention and play a foremost role in the composition.

Also specially made to be mounted on the conning tower were the

radio (which was brought forth to the bridge), binoculars, and other

interesting additions.

BLACK HAWK TOY SOLDIER

Hand Painted and Assembled

The famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is surely a great example of the decisive role played by the movie industry in building up popular myths. Starting with the John Ford’s epic “My Darling Clementine”, the subject would be revisited by many others films, recreating the famous feud between the law and the outlaws, terms that were vaguely defined at the time. The O.K. Corral shootout lasted 30 second and took place at about 3:00 pm on October 26, 1881, in a remote little mining town in Arizona called Tombstone.

Even though many accounts on this gunfight have been written over the years, the reasons for the fight remain rather foggy still today. Basically, it was the result of harsh enmity between three brother clans: the Earps backed by Wyatt’s close friend and admirer Doc Holliday (the law), against the Clantons and the McLaurys (known at the time as “the cowboys”).

A special diorama made with these figures.See www.blackhawk-toysoldier.com for further information.
