How to Paint Realistic Military Figures,
By Mysterio "Jono" (Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Paint Realistic Military Figures (Paperback)
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.

A Very Good Primer for Painting with Acrylics!,
By Row Bear (The Den, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Paint Realistic Military Figures (Paperback)
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'.

This review is from: How to Paint Realistic Military Figures (Paperback)
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.
