| Publisher Description: 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.

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.
