for figure modelers of all levels. It is really an essential reference for a figure modeler. What can I say? The book is really a perfection with its high quality printing and contents. It is a fantastic album with 470 color photos of 35 award winning models, a wonderful color guide with codes or recipes on oil or acrylics, gives you tips and tricks on painting, encourages you on sculpting and represents you many different ideas on groundwork. Absolutely a MUST to have in your library but believe me you will always have it in your hands, not in your library. Very highly recommended Overall rating: 98% Historicus Forma, www.hfmodeling.com I bought this book. I like it and Ι hope they keep bringing out more of these. A lot of professional painters did their part for this first issue, like Piedro Balloni, Diego Ruina and many others. If you paint in acrylic or oils, you can find a lot of hints and tips. Basework is also a great part in it, our PF member Costas (Major Goose) did some great work on that. In my opinion worth every penny, euro or dollar. Marc Van Megroot I bought this and consider it an outstanding value. The detailed SBS of both Oils & Acrylics, in many cases with individual clear and sharp photos of each step in the face painting process taking up several pages is worth the price alone. Also many outstanding painters give their color mixes and examples of their work. Richard Link It arrived Tuesday morning, and yes, it is worth it [...]. A worthy addition to the library. Jamie Stokes I also have this book, I take it to work with me every day, maybe this is why I am not getting any work done, very addictive reading. Tommi Worton On Euromilitaire I saw that both Historex and Aviation Book Centre have it in stock. A great book indeed. Robert Crombeeckee With subjects ranging from the Ancient Greeks and Spartans, through the Mongols, the Romans, the Teutonic Knights and early American settlers, up as far as the German forces of WW II, there really is something here for everyone and with such highly acclaimed and recognizable names as Ray Farrugia, Mike Blank and Jaume Ortiz, the quality of the models is undoubtedly high. Highly Recommended. Darren Thompson, Model Military International, October 2009
