It was very short, the images swapped from one mini to another in the middle of a description and the techniques were not covered very well. This was more of a full color ad for a brand of paint with the cipsets than a book on miniature painting. The Osprey manual on medieval miniatures is very supoerior to this book.              search for books 1808-1814, 1865-1890, aircraft, articulated, captivating, chasseurs, complete, conquest, conversion, converting, different, discipline, frequently, frontier, hannibal, historical, introduction, madelman, medieval, miniature, miniatures, modelling, motorcycles, nightmare, patrolling, professional, questinos, questions, techniques, warriors books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
