These are very informative! Short in length, but helpful.

The Marion Ball YouTube is great one http://yt.cl.nr/TMDWfDkap0w, and there are MANY other YouTube videos also. I tried hunting down any historical DVD on painting figures, and came up with all the regulars. There are some by Miniature Mentor that can be applied to historical figures (acrylics)...

Thank You Sir! This is a LOT of work.

Hey guys; I'm looking for a WW1 trench diorama base in 54mm. I have the Verlinden models, but would like something a bit larger. If I had the time to create one I would, but I'll be happy if I finish the figures...

I agree with Tom - these bases are great and will set off a figure very well.

I like the Reb. Great pose!

You know your facts! I'm from Wisconsin (TDY IL now) a Pottawatomie kind of guy, and this is a great review and paint job. Tony S

"It takes two painters to paint a figure...one who paints it, the other who tells him when to quit" From a wise, art school instructor I had.

Fruedian slip: Miniature Mentor, not military mentor.

Well guys, fall is on my mind, as is the MMSCI show. With this said, I have an acrylic painting question: Q: What is the most common method to paint in acrylics (faces), midtone - highlights, then darks or midtones, dark, then highlights.? I ask this because I've seen some of the military mentor...

I checked both US links, neither is up yet.

These are terrific! Who distributes them in the USA? I'm not current with manufactures.

NICE! Very similar to adding the right frame for the painting.

After really reviewing all of your reference - I realized you knew more than I ever did (next time I WILL read further before answering!). Still, the hat looks to heavy or wide at the top...

This is a fantastic SBS review and we're glad you're back in the saddle again. I have always look forwarded to your insightful and thorough reviews and have learned a lot from them - Thank You! This appears to be a "Hardee" hat, with the calvary insignia on it. Most associated with the acclaimed...

You were spot on. This was all about depth of field utilizing the equipment and techniques outlined in the tutorial, which understandably, is so very critical in getting a "great" image. Was there any ONE item, alibi the 12-14 Mp SLR, mentioned that was crazy expensive? No, but after watching...

You bet Roger! Like I said, this tutorial went beyond the typical photo set-up and really was aimed at macro photography buffs who have a lot of the stuff already. A SBS video on miniature photography for mortals would be great! Tony S

These are stunning - well executed.

First - great subject matter! I am a fan of the SPANAM war, Boxer Rebel, and the Banana wars. I'm in the process of working on a diorama in 54mm of a small portion of Kettle Hill. I wish there were more figures available for these periods... I like the figure and paint work, but the shiny base...

You really have produced a well designed and functional website Gordy, and we ARE truly lucky to have a guru like yourself running the show. Your time and commitment to this website goes way beyond what we should expect of one guy who has a life and a family! Thanks a million. Tony S
