Closeup: ZX13

Athletic Model Guild’s ZX13 album and catalogue contains some well-known early AMG models, like Bert Elliott, Stan Gergoshian, and Tabby Anderson; it is also representative of the studio’s growth, featuring hundreds of poses of dozens of models.

As I can illustrate many of the models and capture the scope of their appearance in the catalogue, I thought this might be a good initial example of a Closeup feature.

These are the models in the ZX album, noting as always some variation in spelling:

ZX 1, Pat Silbecki

ZX 2, Bert Elliott 

ZX 3, Ray Cox

ZX 4, Stan Gergoshian
