Global Scale Modeller

Hi all I am trying to improve my painting skills especially in the figure department. Does anyone have any feedback on the Mr Black books?http://www.mrblackpublications.com/FIGU ... 65116.aspx

I thought I posted this last night but don't seem to be able to find the post, so I apologize if it is duplicate?

Sorry, I don't know that particular series. It looks like it may be a show case with step by step rather than a back to basics. However, it looks good!

Two books I heartily recommend are Bill Horan's 'military modelling masterclass' and Shep Paine's 'building and painting Scale Figures'. They mostly use enamels and oils repectively (but the principles apply to acrylics too) but they are not to be bettered for improving figure painting. Either or both are a must for every figure painter's book shelf!


Also good (and cheap) are figure painter magazine - online only at £1 a pop http://www.figurepaintermagazine.co.uk/ and, for free, Wamp magazine http://www.wampforum.com/VB4/downloads.php?do=cat&id=1

Hope that helps

Very helpful Rob. Thanks a ton mate!
