Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book was exactly what I was looking for. I'm fairly fussy when it comes to my hobbies, and will only invest in something that I know is good.
It has lots of step-by-step photos and techniques explained in detail.
The authors are very experienced and do excellent jobs of conveying their many years of experience.
I highly recommend this book if you're interested in painting figures. Novice to experienced painters will not be disappointed, it's definitely a keeper that will be used many times as reference in the future.

Many military dioramas require realistic personnel for the sake of authenticity, but painting such small human figures presents special challenges, and in particular, when it comes to face painting. This guide aims to answer modellers' questions about painting scale figures with acrylics - more forgiving and easier to handle than oil-based mediums - and generally improving their painting skills. Figures from specific periods are featured, including the Middle Ages, the Napoleonic era, World War II, as well as soldiers from Vietnam and the Gulf War conflicts. Fully detailed chapters are devoted to the Napoleonic uniform, the camouflage uniform and metal finishes such as armour, helmets, chain-mail and weaponry. There is also advice on choosing the proper tools, achieving light and shadow effects, displaying figures and creating simple dioramas.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
