From the publisher: This is the ultimate painting guide by Korean master figure painter and artist Man Jin Kim showing step-by-step how to paint miniature figures in German World War II uniforms using acrylic paints. Field gray, black and white, leather uniform items, camouflage accessories, and scenery are among the topics.
Of the 300-plus photos, some 280 of them are step-by-step sequences. The first chapter is dedicated to tools and assembly, the second on using acrylic paints and the third is about face-painting. The fourth chapter covers painting uniforms, the fifth, accessories, whereas the sixth looks at scenery. The seventh and final chapter presents a gallery of masterfully painted figures, busts, and vignettes by the author, illustrated with detail-revealing photos.
Most of these models were painted as box art for well-known companies.
FSM says: What the publisher said: Excellent sequential descriptions of painting German faces and uniforms with a short but informative chapter on modeling a natural-looking display base or mount. If you are a figure modeler, many of these faces will ring a bell.
