and Painting Figures Book - Probably the greatest
test of the modeller is achieving the perfectly posed
figure. This title explains how best to set up the figure,
and goes on to deal with the niceties of painting, facial
expressions, clothing etc. With no detail unexplored,
everything is clearly explained with step by step
photos.

Miniature Female Figures: The Techniques - Painting
miniatures, though a relatively small sector, is one
of the most widespread hobbies throughout the world.
The modellers and painters prefer mainly military figures
and model vehicles, closely followed by fantasy figures.
However, painting female figures presents an alternative
to these, taking second place among the preferences
of many painters, perhaps due to a lack of knowledge
or the difficulty it presents. From now on and thanks
to this publication, all this is history. When painting
a female figure, one should simply be familiar with
the appropriate techniques in order to obtain the picturesque
effects that portray finesse, avoiding sharp lights
and shadows used on military figures. Airbrush techniques,
almost always feared by the majority of painters, provide
really surprising finishes that can later be applied
to other types of tasks.

Realistic Military Figures
- 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.
