Book Reviews of Sculpting Miniature Military Figures With Kim Jones (A Schiffer Book for Hobbyists)
Book Review: Not the definitive modelling book
Summary: 2 Stars
This book is good for introducing beginners to the hobby of sculpting figures in general, not necessarily military figures. It focuses on a single demonstration of sculpting a 120mm figure in numerous photos which show each stage with clarity.
What disappoints is the quality of the sculpting whcih detracts from the book's true value. The final figure has a face which appears to be a caricature and not realistic. The anatomy and pose of the figure is also poorly rendered as can be seen on the cover page.
