Painting Wargaming Figures – Allied Forces in Northwest Europe, 1944-45 (Paperback)

"It's admirable how this book is designed and packed with guides that ally photos, text descriptions and tips such as what sort of paint and brush sizes to use in a concerted effort to make every step as simple to follow as possible."

Toy Soldier Collector & Historical Figures Magazine

"The book is a useful guide to those new to this form of modelling activity, and may also provide a useful reference for more experienced figure modellers and war-gamers."

IPMS Magazine - Issue 6: 2023

With 270 pictures to illustrate the steps suggested for the allied military services described for small scale figure painting it is very easy to follow along with a quite simple process to paint figures.

IPMS/USA

"...an impressive book that should easily fulfill the author’s purpose of introducing modelers new to historical figure modeling and wargame figure painting, and expanding the knowledge base of those already involved. The level of historical detail the author provides is appreciable, and the examples and explanations of the processes are excellent."

Armorama, June 2022

The author is certainly an expert and the book is well laid out in a logical fashion with clear guides and direction, backed up by excellent stage by stage photographs. The end results are superb and if you are organised enough to paint on an industrial production line, have patience and a steady hand (not to mention motivation) you can go some way to getting the same result as the author if you follow his instructions.

The figures used for the examples throughout the book are 20mm scale but of course the techniques can apply to others. Every step is clearly explained, from a dark base coat for shadows and then adding colour and highlights, including detail of the specific brush sizes and paint colours used for each stage. It is also worth pointing out that he does include notes saying where certain elements can be loft out if you have a lot of figures to do and want to save a little time. The standard of work illustrated throughout the book is excellent, and Andy does a really good job in explaining the techniques in a clear and easy to follow manner. Easily recommended for modellers and wargamers.
