Looks like an interesting "how-to" book, Vinnie. I might have to pick up a copy of one myself. My figure skills have become very rusty, from lack of doing them all the time. I think this book might just do the trick ! Seems like it has a good "back to the basics" format. Plus, it has a few of the Alpine Miniatures figure kits featured, so thats another added bonus for me

Thanks for the review. I will put one of these on my next order

Cheers !!

This looks like a book I could get a lot of help from. Thanks for the review, Vinnie.

Thanks Teacher,
There goes another $13.00 of my hard earned money. I try and buy every Osprey Modelling book I can get my hands on. I have Modelling:
Waffen SS figures, PzKfw IV/Panther, Sherman/Tiger I, How to build WWII Dioramas, How to Paint WWII Figures.

In my humble opinion these are the best modelling books on the market.
The only drawback is that they use Vajello paint numbers and they are not so readily available in the states.

Thanks,
Jeff
