Book Reviews of FOUNDRY MINIATURES PAINTING AND MODELING GUIDE
Book Review: Excellent for new painters, worthwhile for the experienced
Summary: 5 Stars
If you have never painted a miniature before _and_ are particularly interested in historical figures, this is the book for you. The Foundry technique is a very straightforward style for creating great miniatures: basically it relies on 1 to 3 layers of color + sharp black lines for definition. The black lining actually gives the dramatic results.
If you are interested in painting fantasy or scifi miniatures, the technique will definitely work but is fairly different from current styles as it makes little to no use of washes or glazes. Having no access to Foundry paints, I'm trying it with other brands (GW, Vallejo).
The book itself is of excellent production quality; the images are clear and rich in detail, the writing well done (I saw one typo in the entire book) and the examples helpful. It's a pleasure to read and browse through.
My criticisms of the book center mostly around a few secondary areas: brush maintenance, basing and terrain construction. The book doesn't discuss how to condition brush hairs, and I dislike the Foundry basing style as being too drab. Terrain construction is simply too complex of a topic to tack on and belongs in a different book.
Summary of FOUNDRY MINIATURES PAINTING AND MODELING GUIDE
This is a fully comprehensive guide to painting and constructing miniature models. This book should help to get you started if you're coming to painting with no experience, and encourage you to try out a few new or different methods if you have painted before. Each technique is described in detail along with pictures to illustrate every step as clearly as possible. There's also a vast array of 'beauty shots' to inspire you to pick up those paint brushes! REVIEWS "Every so often a book comes along that answers every question you may have about painting miniature figures. This book fits that description ... Would I recommend this book? You bet!!! At a list price of $39.95, it's a book that should be on every miniatures' painter's shelf. "IPMS 12511 2007Games Books
