What originally began as a small "booklet" to identify & inventory pieces in miniature collections was four years in the making & became a full-scale hard bound book as collectors voiced their need for this information. With the realization that such a book would have a great utilitarian value not only to individual collectors, but also to museums & beneficiaries of such collections, an exhaustive research effort into past & present artisans culminated in the most comprehensive reference on miniature artisans ever compiled. NO STONE UNTURNED - Every possible known source was explored, from the most obvious to the obscure, gradually distilling a wealth of information into a clear, concise record of lucidity & accuracy. The result is a reference guide that both enriches the miniature as a true art form & ennobles the artisans who have made vital contributions in this area. EASY TO USE - Arranged alphabetically by artisan name, listings include business name, identification marks, category of work, honors bestowed, recognition, with an autobiography (for most listings), plus a carefully prepared cross-reference index. Measures 8 1/2" X 11" Hard Bound in dark blue Roxite with gold stamping. $65.00 plus $6.00 shipping & handling per book. QUANTITY DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE. Payment due with order.

Unlike chess or backgammon, tabletop wargames have no single, accepted set of rules. Most wargamers at some point have had a go at writing their own rules and virtually all have modified commercially available sets to better suit their idea of the ideal game or to adapt favourite rules to a different historical period or setting. But many who try soon find that writing a coherent set of rules is harder than they thought, while tweaking one part of an existing set can often have unforeseen consequences for the game as a whole. Now, at last, help is at hand. Veteran gamer and rules writer John Lambshead has teamed up with the legendary Rick Priestley, creator of Games Workshop’s phenomenally successful Warhammer system, to create this essential guide for any would-be wargame designer or tinkerer. Rick and John give excellent advice on deciding what you want from a wargame and balancing ‘realism’ (be it in a historical or a fantasy/sci-fi context) with playability. They discuss the relative merits of various mechanisms (cards, dice, tables) then discuss how to select and combine these to handle the various essential game elements of turn sequences, combat resolution, morale etc to create a rewarding and playable game that suits your tastes and requirements

While it may seem easy to paint a three dimensional miniature figure, to do it properly requires a practiced hand and some artistic techniques. Because the figure is so small the shadings and highlights must be emphasized to make the figure seem realistic. Mike Davidson has years of experience painting miniature military figures and in teaching the art to others. Using a combination of hobby paints and oils he is able to create a visual effect that brings life to the cast or sculpted figures. In this book Mike takes a commercially produced casting and takes the reader through the process of assembly, painting and mounting, ending with a figure that would be a proud addition to any collection. Each step is clearly photographed and captioned so that the reader may follow them. While applied to a particular figure, the lessons learned from this book will enhance any painting the reader may choose to do.
