Review
"I strongly recommend this book to ANY modeler, not just the figure painter alone, for the techniques covered here are priceless…very detailed paint scheme charts for each subject, step by step painting technique, and supporting text is fantastic! This book and a little practice will have you turning out some really amazing pieces in no time. Highly suggest that you buy this one and add it to your library…I don’t think that you will be disappointed." -Mark R Smith, Historicus Forma (January 2005)

Sniffing a tube of Tester's glue would be more productive.,

This review is from: Modelling WWII Figures (Osprey Modelling Manual Series, 9) (Paperback)
This book is not a How-to. The reader gets 5% instruction on how to paint figures, 65% historical background on the figure being featured, and 30% of product plugs. I knew I got the wrong book when I read " The camouflage pattern depicted is very difficult." That was it, no how-to, no method, no nothing. Stick to Shepherd Paine and Verlinden.

It is NOT a HOW-TO manual,
This review is from: Modelling WWII Figures (Osprey Modelling Manual Series, 9) (Paperback)
At the cover, it wrote 'The complete HOW-TO modelling guide' is misleading. I was very disappointed when I read the book. It is more of a product catalog rather than a how to.
I will not recommend this book to anyone. If you are serious in a good 'HOW-TO' book, search for this book 'Modelling Waffen-SS Figures (Osprey Modelling) by Calvin Tan'. It is comprehensive guide to figure painting. At the same time, knowing the author himself the person is a pro.
