Hot Lead - How to paint a better miniature (3 DVD Set)

“

My DVDs address this. In over 8 hours of footage, I go through the entire painting process, using over 30 different example miniatures: from selecting, prepping, painting and finally varnishing a miniature. Along the way I'll share the tricks and tips learned through my years as an award-winning painter. By the time you finish the set, you will truly know how to paint a better miniature! That's not to say advanced painters won't benefit from these techniques. The DVDs are designed to continue the lessons learned on the Basic DVD into two Advanced DVDs. - Laszlo Jakusovszky
