Good for starters
Angela Bullock's book was not up to standard for members of ourbear making club. The bear patterns are not well defined and this book, although it explains the basics of bear making, shows miniature, finished articles, that are not particulary well made. The bears in the book look as though they were made by first-time bear makers.Read more

A sad disappointment.
This book is not about how to paint military miniatures.It is about how ONE modeller paints ONE resin figure(scale not even given.) Instead of lots of figuresand lots of insight, you just get numerous photos ofthe same damn figure from a slightly different cameraangle.Another Davidson/Schiffler ripoff, I fear ... Read more

great resource for the military figure modeler
The current edition is a major revision of the original book, and includes detailed information on painting with oils as well as acrylic paints. Most techniques are well illustrated with good quality closeup photographs, which really helps to walk you through the steps.

How to Paint Realistic Military Figures
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.
A Very Good Primer for Painting with Acrylics!
Actually, I haven't seen the new edition of this book; only the original. The techniques of using acrylics for figure painting are explained very clearly and the photos are very good. Each stage of achieving the final result is shown. BEST OF ALL: The authors of this book do good work, so you know THEY know what they're talking about! Beware of another book on painting figures with acrylics...this was the first I've seen and is still light years ahead of the 'other'. ... Read more
