World War II saw a large variety of uniforms on battlefields around the globe. Mike Davidson, using a clearly photographed, step-by-step approach, employs hobby paints and oils to recreate twentieth century warriors. Starting with commercially produced figures, he guides the reader through the process of assembly, painting, and mounting. There are also formulas for mixing a variety of World War II uniform colors to enhance any World War II figure the reader may choose to paint.

The Worst Miniature Painting Book you can find,
By paul_cheng "K.F." (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting World War II Miniatures (Schiffer Book for Hobbyists) (Paperback)
The one star I gave to this book is for the number of photographs included in it. This book is not worth buying at all. The quality of the photographs is way below standard for publishing in any books. To name a few - out of focus, too dark, wrong orientation . . . and the list goes on. How can the editor at Schiffer Book miss that. Don't waste your money on this book!

Great introduction to using oils,
By Slamy (Dixieland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Painting World War II Miniatures (Schiffer Book for Hobbyists) (Paperback)
This book gives a hobbyist a better idea of how to use oil paints: how to blend colors and highlight. I liked the fact that the author actually told you what colors to blend to make field grey for example; what colors to add to make the highlights etc. I wish he would have spent some time on the consistency and texture that the oils need to be. While this is a short book, I learned a lot from it. In my opinion, it taught me how to use oils more effectively then some of the more popular books, which just tell you to use oil paints, but never actually teach you how. I recommend this book to anyone who is a novice to medium ability.
