A Book Review

Painting Wargaming Figures

by Javier Gomez aka El Mercenario

IMG_4819

The book takes the reader step by step through the process of Javier Gomez painting style. From the choice of materials, preparation of the miniature up to basing the finished model.

Techniques such as dry brushing,washes, shading and highlighting are all explained clearly with how to photos. Specific case studies tackle a variety of useful subjects such as mixing realistic flesh tones for different races, painting horses, guns and limbers, shields and flags; napoleonic uniformes and camouflage patterns.

The book is devided into four main parts.

1. Basics: like  what do I need, how to paint miniatures or using patinas

2. Colours : here he explains how to paint each colour like black, white, blue, etc. For me this is the main and most important part of the book

3. Themes: like how to paint flesh, horses, shields, flags, Camo etc

4. Other scales: Here he shows how to paint other scales of miniatures . In the other parts he paints 28mm figures here he describes how to paint 40mm-6mm figures.

What ever historical period ( or Sci-fi/Fantasy setting) and whatever scale the reader is interested in, this book is an invaluable source of practical advice and inspiration.

Highly recommended !

Here are pictures of the very first vehicle I ever painted with an airbrush after my pal Boycie got me through one of his very good tutorials ( you can find them here)

It was a test on a corgi die cast vehicle:
