Latest Painting Guide Available Now!

 Now available from CALIVER BOOKS , the latest volume in the series. Yet another major contribution to Road Safety. 

In this seventh book in the series of Wargamers. Painting Guides, Mark sets out a set of photographic tutorials that deal with painting 28mm wargaming miniatures to represent the various regular troops that fought in “the East” from the early 1900s to the late 1920s. He includes uniforms for Imperial Russia, Bolsheviks, and the White Russians during the Russian Civil War, the Czech Legion, Chinese uniforms, British and Indian Army uniforms, as well as suggestions for palettes to use when rendering Japanese, Italian, American, and German uniforms of the period.   The information will be useful to those wargaming The Great War, the Russian Civil War and the myriad small wars in what has been called “The Back of Beyond”. 




Vive L' Empereur!

 Aly asked if I would paint some Napoleonic figures for him. I suddenly felt queasy, and I began to tremble. "Don't worry, not Hussars," he said, "in fact lots of greatcoats." So I accepted his commission and a couple of weeks later, these figures arrived in the mail.  Aly has converted these Perry Plastic figures. It was a joy to paint something that is original! I give you the 1st Battalion of the Chasseurs of the Guard. Flag by GMB Designs.
